One of the lessons I learned with the project I’ve been working on the last 18 months is to not just rush in & rip parts of the car before you fully understand exactly what you’re replacing & what parts you have vs need to get… so I’ve started to go through some of my boxes of bits that I have laying around… I have a heap in storage at a mates place including a 2nd XB coupe rolling shell, a spare bonnets, doors, a boot lids, 3 interiors not including the Landau one, like most of us have & god knows what else..
Anyway I was looking at the dash in the XB now & it’s been butchered over the years… someone has just painted the headlight & wiper switches with thick black paint & whilst they work they look crap..
The radio slot has been cut larger to allow for the poor fitment of a modern radio
The gauge lenses are all badly smoked now..
& the ashtray is fine when closed… but shouldn’t really be opened at all…
