Mgb Steel Dash Conversion Kit on 2040-parts.com
Poolesville, Maryland, US
I bought a 1967 MGB GT to use parts for restoring another 67 GT. I decided to put together a kit to convert a later model MGB to the steel dash. In putting the kit together I cut out the steel cowl that goes behind the dash from end to end and through the slots for the defroster vents. I managed to keep three 0f the four vent holes. This piece will need some work but is required to do the conversion correctly. There is a cover that will hide the seam anyway. I also have a new never installed speaker console from later model British spec cars that will correctly fit the later model tunnel.
The kit includes;
The dash with glove box
Steel cowl and cover, the cover is recently replaced with a new one
New dash pad ($135 alone for a new one)
New speaker console ($140), new grill ($15), new bezel ($48) and a new wood backing plate that isn't even listed
Bracket for turn indicator lights which I don't know is available, along with other misc parts but no gauges
IF YOU WANT THAT OLD SCHOOL METAL DASH LOOK AND WANT TO DO IT RIGHT THIS IS THE KIT FOR YOU, IT HAS EVERYTHING MAJOR YOU WILL NEED!

Mercedes C63 AMG estate (2007): first official pictures
Wed, 05 Sep 2007By Ben Pulman First Official Pictures 05 September 2007 00:01 The Mercedes C63 AMG estate looks nice then… That is does, being better resolved and (slightly) more understated than the saloon. But don’t for one moment let the big boot fool you, because this car has 451bhp and 443lb ft. The C63’s 6.2-litre V8 is a great engine and it will rocket Mercedes’ latest load-lugger from rest to 62mph in 4.6 seconds.
