Looks great.

I can't help but keep seeing that dash and wanting to see it replaced (what with the cracks etc in it). I've no idea how hard they are to come by.

Top work, you should be proud!

Steering wheel removed for spraying and now trying to get to the steering wheel cowling for spraying. Indicator stalk also needs looking at as seems very 'sloppy' and does not feel right... (21/03/2016)

Indicator stalk removed and these two small pieces fell out with the unit...not sure if they are part of it or have just been slipped through a crack at some point through the years??
