Centre Console Refurb - Chapter 2

Post by muphy »

Was dry enough yesterday to get the spray cans out.


Fascia primed and painted

Veneer applied and cut out using several very sharp scalpel blades, not perfect but hey, first attempt

Dry fit of dash components prior to stain and varnish. Decided to not expose the rheostats, will wire them up elsewhere.

Adhesive needs a couple of days to get to full strength then I'll finish and get the panel back into the car. One important thing to note,
if you want to drive with the panel removed, you need at least the hazard lights switch otherwise indicators do not work :shock:
