Looks really good, well done!!
 

Yeah, great job on the door trims. Keep the photos coming.

I bought a new oil pressure line from england. Its still the plastic one but all new pipe and fittings. I guess it could be ok to lap wrap the line in some black heat wrap like exhaust wrap.
I never thought of using some old card to fill the holes. How did you glue it. Some high strength silastic may be flexible but still have a good bond strength.

I reckon if I was going to use the plastic line I would run it through the firewall on the passenger side to keep it well away from the extractors.
I used Kiwi Grip Advanced for most of the repair, with PVA on the board and 5 min Araldite where I needed a good bond.
 
 

Thanks guys, overall I'm quite pleased with the results. The rear cards look a hell of a lot better than they did.

Yeah, my decision has already been made to have the extractors ceramic coated. They reckon it will drop the external temperature massively and also save the clutch cable from the same fate

I bought these recovered Scheels for now, got sick of the old ones and sitting more or less on the floor cos they where so stuffed.
I think I will eventually get around to trimming the original ones in Beta cloth, at some point.

are they the ones off ebay in adelaide. If so, I had arranged to buy them 6 months ago but the truck driver who was going to courier them for me stuffed me around month after month and it was too much for any other company to ship the lot. They looked like a nice set with the matching rear seat and door trims

Yeah sounds like the same ones. There were 2 sets of Scheels on Ebay in Adelaide at the same time. Both had been recovered the others where probably nicer but the colour was a light grey.
These were a good buy, and good to get the rear as well.
Sorry you missed out.

Doing some resto work on the clock cluster.


Warning: If you are handling gauges be aware that the white painted digits are VERY flaky after 30+ years, so take care.

Needles all painted.

Everything back together. Gauges almost look modern!!
Hard to get a really good photo, but shows the overall finish.
