Location: Tamworth, Staffs		Just the dash clocks(speedo) or the complete dash board?

The clocks can be made to fit and work but not correctly due to the fuel gauge setup.

The dash board does fit in as I put one in mine as a trial but nothing lines up, you have to do a lot of cutting on the sides, bottom and top to get it in, and once you have done that there isn't much left. The once it is in you have to make everything else fit like vents, heater controls, console etc etc. You are better off making a new dash board up from scratch as it is a lot less work.

Location: solihull w.mids		I remember he had to lose the front window vents for the heaters, and the pass side air vent was cut out aswel to fit correctly on the width so the steering wheel would line up with the gap.
