That looks fantastic, reminds me of the Alfa Holics GTA replica dash which has the same modern twist but retaining the original gauges and overall classic look.

Nice light grain leather covering with alcantara top and rust free plastic vents. Indents are black powder coated ally panels for switches. The top right indent is going to be for wipers and washer as per original.

That works! - I like that - very nice. I presume the speedo was rescued from the original car?

Speedo, rev counter and fuel gauge came from the S1.
The original back yard car had a lot of rust on the gauges.
The other gauges are smiths classic cobra range

I like that, gives the cabin a bit sporty/classic but fresh look.

that's a very nice result.
The top of dash reminds me of the special (i think it was) Velvetex spray on nylon bristles from the 60's.It was like a Velvet finnish
