You can also check CDM. They have them rebuild at JustDashes and know
exactly what kind of dash goes into that kind of roadster, depending

PS: I bought a brand new interior with dash, carpets, seat material,
door panels etc. from Les & Dennis at CDM.
It's a damn good quality and looks better than new!
