BEFORE:


I discovered the fake wood trim was covering holes around the radio aperture and the rest of the dash around instruments was faded and peeling.

AFTER:











Oh and not forgetting those Vrederstein Sprint Classic tyres which have transformed the cars ride.

Your mirrors look great (and in the correct position too:-). Hope you get your engine running smoothly soon.

What a nice improvement, normally I'm a big fan of nice wooden things in cars, but that one really looked out of place :-)
