250 GTO Pack 1 - Stage 2. Dashboard and driver's door.

[Mark, The Master Modeller]

Stage 2 gives us the driver's door and the dashboard.

Fit the frame (instrument bezels) inside the dashboard.

It looks like this from the front.

Take the smaller lenses and remove the protective film.  There is film on board side of the lenses.  One side clear and one side blue.

Fit the 5 smaller lenses in the back of the frame.  No need to push too hard as the dials will hold them in the correct position.

Fit the dials to the back of the dashboard and secure with 2 screws.

It looks like this from the front.

Take the larger tacho lens, remove the protective films and press this into position.  For once, reflections on the photo help!

Here's the completed dash without the reflections obscuring the dials!

Fix the door frame to the inside of the door.  This is held with 3 screws.

Push the door handle into the hole in the outside of the door.

This completes the stage.

I gotta say ... those little lenses proved a challenge trying to get the protective film off both sides.  They got a little scuffed up in the process but it's not really noticeable.  Finished up all 6 stages of Pack 1 today.

Sidenote - who's in charge of our 'status' on profiles?  I've completed the 917 and working on the 250 now ... shouldn't I be an Agora "Elite" now on my badge?

Yeah, those little lenses were a bit fiddly!

Looks like you are an Elite member now.
