Thanks mate, how'd you go with the dash? Got any tips?
I might go out and have a look at mine this weekend as I haven't done anything in ages.
Hey Kush,
The dash graft is all about precision. You will find the donor LX graft will fit
exactly.
Firstly I unpicked the UC dash around the windscreen. Then I cut the uc dash out ensuring I left around 10mm of fat on all the mounting points. This helps because you can then scribe where the donor dash sits for an exact fit. Be prepared to get a little burnt when welding it in as you have to crawl right under the dash to weld it in to the same mounting points.
Be sure to use a weld through primer on all panels that cant be cleaned back to metal after the weld. I us a Upol Weld #2 with Copper. When you weld it fuses with the weld to reduce rust between joins. You can see on the pictures the mounting points as they are spayed copper. The steering column is a little fidgety.
I found the only way to get the donor dash in was to feed it in through the windscreen. Be patient it will fit exactly.
