Yeah tea and then a nap! I think It's the original screen I had it on the kitchen table and scrubbed it both sides with a Stanley blade it was filthy loads of yellow nicotine type stuff coming off it making me feel sick!. It came out well once I got the police aware stickers off the front.

New breaks, speedo cable ,ignition, battery, c.v. joints , too much to list . After sitting for 10 years its passed its mot with about 5'' of welding just behined the front bumper. Got the dash all back together. Now ready to start on the interior!
