Dash prep

First fix of dials, lights and switches.

Then moved onto the fuel filler cap, started by using a steel rule to mark the top centre of the fuel filler pipe from within the car. I then drilled a small pilot hole through to give a reference.

 Using the pilot hole for reference I drew around the securing ring,

 and chain drilled the hole out
 this was tided with a flap wheel attachment out to the exact size of the hole

 added the securing holes and
