Default Pics of airbag dash recovered in leather **Updated w/installed pics**
Got the recovered dash installed and ready to go, I'm thrilled with how it turned out and thought I'd share. Both the top and the bottom of the dash are new leather and the console is new leather as well.

That looks just plain outstanding. I really like how the new tan lower section brightens up the car. Most excellent!

BTW, I don't know where you live... so if you wake up and the car is gone, it certainly wasn't me...

Thanks all.

Rob Budd has been just outstanding to work with. The quality is top notch and the service excellent as well. I recommend him w/o hesitation.

J Berk: The head unit is a Blaupunkt Acapulco MP54. I picked that one b/c it looks right in a German car, the display is adjustable so that the red matched the Flamingeye instrument lighting and 'cuz the 'aluminum' rings matched the rings on the instruments

Just for grins, here's a New vs Old picture comparison:
