Re: Dash and Carpet out... what would you do?
It took six-months before I could find the time to complete the dash transplant from my blue car to the red, but it is now done and I am happy with the results. I'll be buggered if I can take pics that show the dash the way it looks in real life, but here they are...

Noticed that a view of the earlier pics had dead links. Re-added for posterity...

Probably buried somewhere but what paint did you use? A refurb certainly makes a difference. Open cars take such a hammering from the UV

Re: Dash and Carpet out... what would you do?
Used Duplicolor Vinyl and Fabric paint on the seats and all trim (internal and external).
The blower ducting was done with some cheap paint I had lying around.
The dash subframe was done with rustoleum.
The three pics immediately above show the dash in a pre-refurb state.
Twelve-months on and all the trim still looks like new. Even the windscreen cowl does not appear to have degraded. Had another owner buy a part from me yesterday and he commented about the interior. He contacted me again today for more details and he is now off doing his own interior refurb.
