    Thought I would share the guts and gore of an L series dashboard in its most intimate nature.
    Besides the fibreglass construction, this is so rustic, it really elicits applause for its construction.
    No sign of Phillips screws, just pan head slots.
    While growing in Italy, I do not recall screwdrivers except for flat bladed ones.
    Very basic at its best.

    A gentleman in Austria has solicited some of its components, to restore another L,
    and fortunately, my dashboard is still unfinished and unrestored in its very original way.
    Hope you enjoy.

    Regards, Alberto

    Alberto, I think your thread title is quite misleading. o_O
    Looks like the L(ady) is still fully clothed in mouse-fur. ;)

    Shawn, the plywood is the large openings part, that holds the glovebox and radio bin.
    In front, it is the full opening lid.
    As the gentleman requested this part also, I will continue disassembling the dashboard
    and will show it in its 'naked glory', per Timo's appreciation :)

    Regards, Alberto

    Yes, very rustic engineering but it works and it is easy to repair...First and only woodwork on a Dino:

    We made two sets, as mine were rusted, with holes through the metal.
    Cannot believe where Dino rusts!
    Next, plywood covers.

    Regards, Alberto

    What's the hinge for? I don't remember seeing one on my "L" but it's been a few years so I'm not saying it's wrong.

    Oh right! Of course. Clearly a "senior" moment.
