Johann, if you are interested, you can come visit me in Centurion and I'll cover your trim for you in vinyl for a matching / factory appearance.
Re: 1965/66 Opel Rekord L Rally GMSA
Thanks for the offer!! I have re-thunk the design and have come up with this! No drilling in the dash required Must decide on wood finish or vinyl! I am leaning towards the wood finish! If the finish is not good then I will go to vinyl!!jmvv wrote:Johann, if you are interested, you can come visit me in Centurion and I'll cover your trim for you in vinyl for a matching / factory appearance.

The first fitting to the dash! If need be this facia will be used to make a Walnut facia.
I like the appearance!

Re: 1965/66 Opel Rekord L Rally GMSA
Made new facia! Needed to improve The layout of the switches and buttons. Did not leave enough space to fit properly!
Surface preparation was terrible!! Poor tint and sanding Poor finish
Will leave to dry completely and see if it needs another coat! Fitting instruments etc will keep to later!
