It's funny but when I got the GT6 I had a pretty clear picture as to what I would do to the car, burr walnut dash, chrome bezels, motolita wood steering wheel, black number plate with silver lettering, vinyl seats etc. Now I'm not so sure as that would be removing some originality. I've got the original service book which gives the first owner, a lady (says it all) and its stamped with the garage that sold the car and all MOTs going back to 1982 so I know the mileage in the car is definately correct and it all just adds to the history of the car.

The problem is the bezels are a bit rough now and I can only seem to find chrome replacements and I dont think the original dash veneer will look too good with the chrome and if I change the veneer then the steering wheel will look out of place and the seats were vinyl in the first place so thats okay then. Ahh.... it appears I'm still going to change most of it which is a bit of a shame. The only exception is the number plate as I'm now okay with more modern colour and its got the old garage details on it which I like.
