Rallye dash. Cluster had to come out to replace the voltage regulator with a solid state unit, the original is part of the fuel gauge on these panels. Someone had it all apart before and decided to paint the fascia gloss black which looked 'orrible so I thought I'd have a go at making it look more like it should while it was out. I left the grained section at the top black and masked it off. Sprayed the bottom half with wheel silver then masked that off. Finally sloshed the rest with plastic kote chrome spray. The "chrome" looks more like polished aluminium but I'm happy with the finished result.

“This ain’t no party, this ain’t no disco, this ain’t no foolin’ around”
No definatly came out of the factory that way, you can tell by the spot welds and the original paint and undercoat on the underside, it's never been repaired or hit there.
