1963 S1

PostPost by: RedS4 » Mon Oct 04, 2010 3:08 am

My S2 came with a pristine restored dash, and when I pulled the map light to replace the bulb, the wood/varnish was badly scorched. Goes with the territory, I guess.


I recently replaced all the bulbs in the interior lights with LED's - much brighter, less power to run them and most important in this thread, much cooler (no scorching...). :)

Hi tech inside the original fittings!! 8)

Yeah, I think that's a good idea.

I finally got it back together and went for a freezing drive today. Here's the dash - re-veneered and oiled. Still looking for a suitable trim.
