    It has finally finished from the paint shop.

    Next up is the assembly.

    I've rechromed everything, refinished the original wheels, brand new tyres, brand new rubber seals everywhere, renewed and retrimmed the door trims, brand new carpet, retaining the original dash, centre console and immaculate seats but trimming the rest.

    My god, a tonne of money has been thrown into this project and there's still more to do.

    I think its beautiful, don't stop now. Attention to detail will make your car stand out among the rest. Keep going. I love it.

    I have a question, I've noticed a few Dino's have Carello headlights and some have Hella. Did the factory ever use Hella? I would assume they only used Carello.

    Latest progress...

    Lovely work! How did you revitalise the original mouse hair dash?

    Regards, Alberto

    Alberto,

    The interior trimmer had a trick up his sleeve. Retained the original but coloured it once again.

    I'm very interested in the work done to revitalise the original mouse hair dash.

    We have also an original mouse hair dash and we are still struggling. Your dash looks great.
    Trying to keep as many parts original is great!
