My dash (1980) is bare on the top and padded lower rail.

did u do that or was it like it as standard

Did mine today, feels alot room-ier, and I like the look of it too. But mine has a bit of rust around the top where it meets the scuttle panel, so it doesn't look great, but it looks okay. I prefer it this way anyway.

The local independent diy stores made up from cheap off cuts of mdf or in other words, scratch build by me.

I believe that the bare metal upper rail and padded lower rail was standard in 1980. I don't think the centre binnacle was fitted to standard models for too long after 1980.

My dash is far better then any of the ones posted up so far.

Got a picture of my dash. It a full race spec super light model with a quick release speedo. I can supply these but due to the top quality for work their £300 each.





You will also need something to stop objects falling though the hole in the passenger side. I'v used a run plaque. These are not supplied.

Thanks Ed, The seats are standard recliners, recovered with Newton Commercials repro 1275GT covers and matching door cards.(The rear is original)

Nice wheel! Is that a Nardi? Or a replica Nardi? Is it 330mm or 350mm? Did you get the boss with it? It looks great. The perfect dish.

Heres some pictures of SONIC dash rails. I love the no dash rails look personally, and agree that it gives the impression of a lot more room

any more pictures im liking the look of them

I posted that the other day, I took mine off, anyway; put it back on today, as it seemed less tidy, without it, and although it did feel as though it had more room, there was also some rust on it, which looked awful. Looks good on most of these though, fair play.
