    1974 series 3 dashboard retrim advise

    Thank you for the advise, I suspected that I'd have to remove the dash top it's selve to do it to be honest. I plan on removing the original foam as it's hard and probably easier to reform the whole thing. Thanks -Maxim

    I don't think there is any series wiring left... Its going to be interesting to learn as I attempt to fix it. But tell then its only getting driven on good clear days.

    I plan on replacing the seats and seat belts, will probably keep the doors as they are once the broken trim part is replaced.

    exactly the reason I decided to take the offer, perfect first project to learn from, fairly available parts and simple, the interchangeability is one of the many things I like about them. -Maxim

    1974 Series 3 SWB, Front end questions

    I am leaving the 300TDI in yes, I am not all that worried about being original as such but a series should look like a series, yeah its got bits from all over the place and as far as I am aware it got 5 gears and I don't know about about the permanent drive ill have to ask, its all kinda hard...
