I've been busy but getting interior things done over the last week. This week the engine will be fired up and take this thing for its first drive in over 20 years (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)

I went with German Velour carpet. Got the dash close to finished but need the correct radio bezel for my Motorola.

Looks great.
Do you know if that yellow fog light switch is the original? I thought the earlier cars (including all sixes) had the green emblem for that switch. -Steve |

Thanks, I have the green center for it. The only fog light switches I own have the amber centers.
What am I missing to install these? they have a thin channel on the back side that have glue in them. Thanks in advance!!! Attached thumbnail(s)

The trim pieces slide into a channel on the dash tins. I'm not sure if they are installed per your pic. I'll add a few pics of mine so you know what they look like. You can just make out the channel in the tins in my pics. Attached image(s)

Andy, my column trim pieces are held in by friction in the small channels in the dash plate. No glue. They can be a witch to get in properly with the dash front material in place.

That's what I'm missing. the car came with 1/8in veneered ply on the dash face and glued the the trim pieces on to the plywood so my guess is they tossed them. Sent you a PM in hopes for some templates (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pray.gif) another 914 lesson learned and to un-do all that work to do it right (IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) Experts... I didn't run into this with my 72, is this an early car thing or -6 specific? Attached image(s)

Curse you Andy!!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) I always thought my car was really nice. You have moved the right side of the continuum so far off that a lot of guys with 'average' cars now have parts cars!

Wow.
That is the result of meticulous labour! So fine a swabbie would be proud. This presents a problem,how can I approach such a standard with my own 14? I feel humbled knowing that so much more work is on the horizon. Press on regardless. Scrape,grind,... |
