Next up I wabted to clean up my dashboard, ready for when my new gauges arrived, I started grinding away and discovered that there were lots of old gauge holes and smaller holes where old switches had been in the past, they were all hidden using cardboard and bondo, so i put a cutting wheel in the grinder and removed the centre section of the dash.


next up i cut a peice of metal to fill the hole back in and welded it to the dashboard.

I then decided that the glove compartments on either side of the dashboard were never being used, so i filled them in also.


then i smoothed everything up with a little nondo and gave it a coat of high fill primer.

at this stage i was going to paint the inside of the car black, but later decided against it .

so the black paint was removed and i thought this time, now that i had my gauges, i would cut all the holes out before repainting the dash.

then i decided on a color for the car and went and bought some paint.
