Top job and thats coming from me!!, The only point I would make is the seat mounting's, The std one's are too flimsey and having a proper bar welded to the floor pan makes a huge differance.

It just gets better and better! Keep the updates comming!

 

I too am a big fan of that dash, above anything else it will hide it cracking and going off colour in the sunlight.
