Default Fitting my flocked dash

Started fitting my flocked dash today.
All I can say is what a nightmare of a job. Ended up having to rip the old dash to bits to get it out. It is going back together although I ain't fitting some of the screws as I can't actually see how some of them could be fitted.

Anybody else fitted one?

Pre-facelift Classics are the worst, so I am told. The Facelift seemed easy to me.

Took 9 hours to do mine. 6 of those were trying to get the old one out. Someone had the idea to screw the wiring loom to the dash with not much play in it. But old one out in one piece and new one in. Just take your time and watch for the hidden screws

It took me less time to replace 4 drive shafts, 4 hubs, 1 prop, 1 rear diff and 1 gearbox than it did to take the frikin dash out why fit 1 screw when you can fit 100 fankers
