Andy has been straight out adding more headlights since 6 are not enough, and therefore has not had time to install his wonderful dash!! :lol:

Hah!

Dash is installed, still need to add the extra bolts in the center to keep it all in, but a piece of cardboard wedged up against the glovebox is working well!

Now I've replaced the driveshaft bearing (and mount, Alan's comments on rust below the seat mounts was far too foresighted.... The bearing mount disintegrated and I've had to weld in a new one. Loads of Gem Rust Killer and Underseal later... All is well again), I've got some time to finish off the dash (and retrieve the emergency brake tell tale switch that's fallen out!)

Ps - I'm thinking of a dual projector mod into the headlight bucket.....

Working on my mahogany wood replacement dash soon. I am going for a one piece. Can anyone tell me how they drilled holes for gauges and what size "whatever you used to cut holes".
