Dash is now back in and everything is working again. Huge relief it was too.
The dash had only 1 of these top brackets on and the 2 under the air vents that bolt through the lower dash rail, now, the top of the dash in the middle never sat flush...
But had some pre-drilled holes for extra ones, so took the ones off my old dash and fixed them on to make the dash a bit more secure..
(Ignore the creative bulb holder supports/pikey cable ties...)
So, now, the dash sits nice and flush and is a tight fit unlike before
First time I've seen it back together with the new centre console finished and the heater fascia too, I think it's ok for now, might still get the heater panel changed to black, but it's quite a good match for the clocks. New radio in and working, got the EQ settings tweaked and it all sounds good so I'm happy with that too.
New LED bulbs in the 3 gauges seem quite a good match for the originals in the speedo too
Apart from fitting the electric windows and having the original door cards retrimmed in black leather and cream piping to cover the window winder hole, I *think* the interior is pretty much complete. Maybe a new headlining if I'm feeling brave, possibly get the leather seats restored.
All that's left to do now before the MOT is to get the suspension level and raise the front a tad as it catches a tiny bit on full lock. My aim is to book the MOT for Saturday morning!
