Good combo! I have a 72 Convertible and an 84 SVO.

Yup, passenger quarter.

Thanks all! One of the other reasons to pull the dash apart was the complete lack of gauge lighting. A set of LEDs from hipoparts got that sorted. Here's the new look: Overall very happy with the LEDs (went with elite dimmable ones) and the voltmeter conversion. The LEDs are pretty darned...

Yup, you've got it! Great looking car!

They were Enkei EK62 wheels and if I'm ever lucky enough to find a set they'll be going back on for sure! In the meantime I may try plasti-dip or similar to get the centers of the torque thrusts gold.
