The dashboard before reconstruction surgery began. The original instrument panel in it's new home.

A passing Greek Shipping Magnate impersonator, by the name of Wally Bruton, donated two Jerry Cans and lent a hand during the afternoon.

The top of the dashboard is in place.

A frenzy of activity.

The first part of the front of the dashboard is gently punched into position.

We now have full control of the heater and radio.

The fan and all-important siren controls are in position. Note the furry dice.

......... and in splendid close-up.

The rest of the front is attached.

Aaaahhhhh!! The smell of burning wood .......... which should not re-appear again!!

On with the shag-pile!!

The finished article. This is STAGE-1. Further additions to the controls will be made after the Leamington Spa weekend. (Watch this space!)
