Interior Modernization Project, Part 19. Main Dash Update and Preview!!!!

So exactly a week after I sent in the door panels, Cesar emailed me to let me know they had arrived.  But that was not all. He sent me the following photos of the work in progress on the main dash:

So where the tabs had broken off, he had fixed using metal sheet and rivets. Love this kind of attention to detail!

I'm not sure what had broken off there, but...

And yet another repair

Since I hadn't compared to a good dash, I had to trust his instincts were correct here...
Not sure about this either, but those scratches indicate some violence in this dash's past life!

Not sure what this is... 
And here, not sure what had to be repaired...
But interestingly, at the same time, he sent me the following photos of the COMPLETED Dash and center console!!


WOW. Looks OEM!!!


I was thinking about changing the vents to carbon fiber overlaid ones, but this convinced me not to! Looks great as is!








The shift boot is the old one (from a 33, not the one I sent)

Now this looks good, but I wasn't too sure about the red stitching on the brake handle...



And with that, now a new chapter. Onto the doors and the rear side panels!!!
