    :gday:Thanks crew, im not gonna hold back on quality for the touchs ups ill do on the Panno so it looks like thats what it will cost, gonna take a few years to get this stuff done and to find the right bits but soo worth it in the long run to have it in full glory, after that will be the Dash and having it recoated etc,

    Next query

    Where to for the dash resto?? any hints tips questions etc??? Am in Tassie too dont forget, i understand ill prob have to have it sent away but as close to home will be good?

    I promise in a few years after the engine rebuild and its all finished ill drive her up from Tassie to the melbourne meet to share with ya'll in appreciation for your help and advice, your definatelly passing the torch down to the next gen thats for sure !!

    Ill make sure to shout a few (x10) rounds as well!!

    Cheers

    what part of the dash resto are you talking...????

    dash pad?..if so you currently need to send yours to have redone and this costs $550 without freight to and from melbourne..it also needs to be a perfect core unit as in the plastic frame of the dash pad cannot be warped or badly cracked..if you are talking a couple of years to do this stuff i know for a fact that reproduction dash pads are being done..price unknown at this stage..

    dash fascia?..i have perfect replica fascias in black at better prices than others can supply to mysandman forum regulars..
