very easy, took 1/2 a day to get it all off get rid of the cracked wood and then rebuild. I will buy the new dash next week strip it again and then refit it.

I had heard it was very hard to do but i found it to be really really easy.

I found a few in mine when I took the dash out and on the interior door card.

I would be nice to know who built mine but as its a 1996 car I would think the workers left long ago.

I just replaced mine as well, it is very easy but it does take quite a while to do. I did the whole lot in an afternoon/evening but it probably would have been much more pleasant if i'd spread it over the weekend! Glyn, I don't know if you remember me but I was in the blue Chim when we met up before London Thunder, if you want a hand doing your dash, i'm back for Easter from the 30th for a month so would be happy to help if you need it...

No .Only the better trimmers got to tim the dashes because of the complexity of the shapes ie Griff.A good lad but a Brum would always say SH**T on the villa.

Think you got me there Aka. The smiley face was a few years ago when things were better at TVR, it was changed for a sad face for the last few years as someone will no doubt find out. Right about the Villa though. Dont be cheeky either i trimmed Griff dashes for many years even got a mention in Griff book.
