The dash went in without too much trouble, had a couple of times practice as I had put the frame in before getting the wiring sorted (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)
Then had forgotten to put the glove box...I guess practice makes perfect (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)
It’s coming together nicelyAttached Image Attached Image
