Hi Mark.

Stunning work mate. Your interior looks absolutely superb with that new dash and refurbished trim :applaud:

It was a big project but what stunning results. You should feel proper proud of yourself Mark :)

Shame I wont get to see it at Beaulieu but hopefully we can meet during the summer at some stage. You certainly have been busy since last year not only with your interior but your gleaming engine bay too. Nice one mate !

All the best

Nick

Hi Mark

Great result, not easy using repo products so well done and due to your excellent write up I'll have a reference when I commence my dash refurb... :D

Hi Mark,

Wow!!! What a difference this has made. I bet Andrew is kicking himself now seeing the end results....??? Great you got it done and great you added to Andrew's original thread for this. I think there's been a lot of people waiting to see how this turned out. Three days well spent. I bet you could have cried once you realized about the fade though???? Looking forward to seeing it for real at Queens Square. All the best,

John....

Great result, it's amazing how much time these things take, especially when fitting it all in between work, life etc.. Hoping to see the fruits of your labour on 10th April all being well, much better than a cracked dash, a load of work but well worth it & unless you knew different looks original. Good thread too on removing dash, wish I'd read it before removing mine ;)

Hi Mark,
It looks like you've made the eyeball vents fit perfectly, but how did you get the rectangular windscreen vents to fit? Do you have a photo of those?

All the best,
Andrew.

Passenger side fits great, drivers side took some fiddling and a bit of masking with some black paint but looks ok unless you are really inspecting it, I will take a couple of shots tomorrow. As you say the eyeballs came out really well.
