No. Not slammed. Decided to leave it as it is and drive it.

Picked the car up yesterday. All the major stuff is sorted - just a few teething problems such as gear knob keeps coming off. On the way back, James took this photo...

Not sure if this helps, but it's a close-up of the dash and clock delete (Nick re-ducted the middle-dash vent into a mini eyeball vent).

What dash / cover was used to delete he middle dash vent?

It's 69-73 dash from Carpoint - www.CARPOINT.de

Wasn't cheap mind, and that was prior to the Brexit shite-show, so might be a bit more expensive now. It came with a speaker grille though.

Another pic. We took it into town today (shopping). Saw loads of old porkers in the west end. Presumably coming back form Classics at the Castle.
