Super looking BRG! I too, would give my right nut for your gauge cluster. That is well done, and classy. Nice job.

Cheers for the feedback :)
The car was at the shop for the last few weeks (as it has been for the better part of this year) but I'll hopefully get it back tomorrow to enjoy the rest of october in it before it goes back to hibernation during winter.
I'll try and take a few more pictures if weather and time allow...
More pictures :) Car is now repainted, polished and in its winter garage :)
