Hello Ty
What a great buy, lovely colour clap

The only info I know about this car is that you own it (not much use eh)........ but I maybe able to help with your dash.
Do you have the metal face plate for the centre ? was it with the car ? (not a big problem if you don't)
Currently I don't have any veneers for the 400SE left but I have a very small piece of the veneer material that could be made into a set, unfortunately it may be a little more as they don't like cranking their machine up for one set at a time.
If you email me your address I can send you a sample of the veneer before you commit to buy.

I hope you know that buying a wedge entitles all of us on here to a wedge/mate rate to a certain hotel in scotland (particularly if your surname begins in McC)
Good luck and i'm jealous (bet i'm not the only one !!)

I've got a set of Hotty's veneers you can have. I swapped them for a plenum a while back. Mine are very good so they might as well go to good use. PM me your address & I'll send them to you, as long as you promise to fill me up with lager at BBWF. thumbup

scratchchin Wyn I think yours sent are a different hand to TY's requirements ?

But a change of mind regarding the plenum means that I no longer need it, so if you dont what the veneers anymore I will have them back (do you what me to organize the redelivery of the plenum....it's not the hot wire one)

let me know
cheers

I think the first thing is to lose some of the extra equipment!!!
Alpine cd stacker is in the skip along with a bin bag of old leaves and junk !!!

The Amps still work and you can even hear sounds through the 7 speaker system !!

I am going to have plenty of holes left when i get rid of the junk !

I cant stop grinning

The growler is coming up better than i hoped and now i have lost the red pedals i can actually get to the brake from the accelerator when needed !!

The boot is better than the griff as the roof goes in flat so the le mans camping gear wont have to all come out to get to the roof when it rains !!! Whooohoooo

The interior needs work but with a toothbrush the leather is cleaning up ok

I just need veneers and then next two rear roof struts as the passenger side one is goosed and bent out of shape

Also need new bonnet / boot gas struts all round so anyone know if they can be regassed or where i can buy new ones ???

This is just the start of an epic journey but what fun to be back in the fold
