Kind of you to say so...Rich in our bodyshop did a great job of fibreglassing the centre vents and keeping the correct dash shape however the real credit for the dash has to go to James at Steer In Style Thatcham who did an amazing job of recovering the dash. It far exceeded my expectations and Gary Cook said it's likely the best dash job he's ever seen.

I'll also seen some rather fancy leather interiors Steer In Style have completed for others on here and their work looks top drawer 8)

They're currently patching and tidying my Lollipop seats whilst retaining the original material, a thankless task but sure they'll improve them no end.

Cheers,

Amazing work Darren. Haven't been on for a so had the pleasure of 3 pages of updates, great work. I can only imagine the bills that are coming your way from Gary, there isn't anyone better but my goodness how many parts are required amazed me on my simple build.

On all of our glorious projects there's many different images that could be considered the 'money shot' .......but for me these are the one's that get me salivating! :drunken:

....and you know your engine builder is one of your very best buddies when he tells you he's ditched the standard aluminium item and is throwing into the build a rare original all in one shaft and gear lightweight RSR intermediate shaft from his own stock! 8)
