Yesterday I thought I would complete the dash then realised the hinges for the glove box needed some tlc along with the centre console.

whilst looking for the glove box hinges I found the sun visors , the ironmongery on these also need some tlc

I removed the fittings, stripped the paint and soaked them in a de-rusting solution along with the hinges.

Many hours later the centre console was finished, I had to re-stick the vinyl where it was coming away, rub away the surface rust to the bottom inner face then sprayed black to protect it.
It is surprising how long these little tasks take.!!!!Comment

Yellow and clear zinc

Chrome plating.
The die cast parts which are alloy (MAZAK) look lovely and shiny but are unfortunately pitted and holed in places. Two horse shoes were cracked so could not be plated.
