Very satisfying to watch this Range Rover project evolving. There’s no substitute for old fashioned knowledge and craftsmanship. Thanks for the content.

Glad you enjoy it!

I liked the design of the dash in that particular age of Range Rover but the sound of you moving those pieces around illustrates how cheap they were. The finished article looks superb - its how the original should have been! It would be very interesting to see the same thing done to an early Rover SD1.

a lot of the parts are very flimsy plastic and some are made from more sturdy plastic, its probably a cost issue

Beautiful work, would love this in my car. I was just thunking if it might be easier to cover the originally veneered piece of dash with the vents compared to the plastic one you showed. The vents are different on the veneered ones, they have a frame covering the edge of the veneer. You would not have to shape the leather, but just cut the holes, especially if you remove the veneer and keep the plywood only. Only the holes for the clock and the mirror adjustment are "unframed".

That would be much easier but you may have to thin the leather or sand the plywood so that the vents will fit
