Rite, bit of an update as work is hopfully going to start in the next week, ive got all the bits i need and even sprayed the centre console on a bit of a moment.
I must admit i wassnt sure if it looked good once it was done,
a tough one, but then today i fitted all the parts that i took off for spraying along with getting bits ready for next week and im quite chuffed :
The dials etc......
And the finished centre console with all the buttons, cig lighter, and ash tray etc... installed.
Comments welcome and roll on next week

Well i managed to save of the pic from the fitting but the finished pic's are lost due to digi cam failure.
First thing to do was remove the simple bits off/out the dash, steering wheel, centre console etc. i must admit it was easyer than i thought.....
then the hardest part was to strip everything out of the 220, remove the dash itself and everything else which just left the fire wall and LOADS of wires *laughs* With the old dash out i stood the old dash next to the new dash that was half assembled, looks much better as you can see, you still get the idea of how things have changed.....
Next i turned back to the VERY VERY empty 220, i must admit at this point i saw the full amout of the work i had ahead of me ( and wished i never started *laughs* )
Once i got myself in the right frame of mind i gave myself a slap and got on with it and got the dash mounted and a few other bits back on, but at this point the digi cam gave up so the pic is a little blurred but you get a sneek peek of how it looks ;)
Ill try get te camera sorted and post up finished pic but if i cant get it working your all may have to wait till the fast show ;)

ill admit its not as hard as it seams, in all its about 4/6 bolts and just lifts out. The hardest part was all the wiring and swapping switches etc.... plus i made it hard for myself by spraying the bits, changing the dash and bits with the heater.
id say on a scale of 1-10 if you take it slow and dont get angry like i did *laughs* its about a 7/10.
