 Re: The Dirty 'D'  I tracked these 1/4 inch bulkhead fittings down to make a nice and tidy install of the air lines from the gauges....  The steering column is in and lines up perfect with the double UJ's.....

Re: The Dirty 'D'  The fresh topcoat of paint around the front screen has been scotched back and refinished in red oxide... well i had to do it twice as the first can of red oxide came out more like orange....It still looks a bit bright in the photos but perfect in the flesh...  Dash parts going in..... the fresh air boxes got new draft excluder fitted around the inside edge...(tricky and then some)

Re: The Dirty 'D'  One mans junk is another mans treasure....   With the backseat in and the parcel shelf fitted, all of the air suspension and mod's are hidden from view... Ok so only Umpa Lumpa's like me will be able to sit in the back...

Re: The Dirty 'D'  Ive made up this panel for the air suspension gauge and all of the other extras.. One E bay search later and a can of wrinkle finish paint providing the retro finish...  This is going to the right of the steering wheel, with all of the extra wiring already in place...

Re: The Dirty 'D'  Back to more nerding and the washer bottle has been fully detailed and refitted into place....  I cannot wait to get nicked by the plod for driving a slammed wreck and then opening the bonnet... with a grin on my face...

Re: The Dirty 'D'  Screen in... Freshly cut at a local glass centre for 30 pounds only result.....  Gauges in... Perfectly tacky just as i planned.... i wanted it to look like a crazy old man made it in his shed to update his car in the 80's....

Re: The Dirty 'D'  The heater lever has moved under the dash and mounted into place with the retro Pye speakers...  After measuring and with a good amount of luck, the floor mounted washer button has been refitted into place and connected back up....I had planned to just fit it as a dummy to fill the hole in the floor matt and had even found a 2cv pump to use....
