Good work Danny. I was wondering for authenticity reasons if eventually you will be replacing the dash? As I assume Rosco's car or real police car would not of had a dash mat?

Thanks Carl!!

Yes at some point a new dash would be great to replace the damage one i have,but my main aim now is to get the car looking tidy and on the the road. It's ashame my one is so badly damaged from the sun...not a lover of the dash mat personally,but it's a quick simple fix and should look tidy once all put back and fitted properly. In the mean time i will look out for a replacement dash though...

Headlining before it was cleaned and sprayed tan...

Spraying the headlining...may take a few coats of tan spray paint as not covering as well as the rest of the interior has. (23/04/2015)

Nice shinny bits will look good against the new paint job, which I am anxious to see, no doubt you are too? How long?

Cheers Carl,yes i cannot wait now to get the car back and start putting her all back together.

The body shop originally said it would be approx 4 weeks but now been told 6 weeks. It's already been 5 weeks today so hopefully very soon!!
