Hi Patrick,

We meet again

I had the same problem and same goal.  The wood dash is a veneer only and is 
layered over the original metal dash.  Even TR6s had this arrangement. You can 
remove the wooden veneer quite easily.  The only gotcha is locating the metal 
glovebox cover, chrome hinge hardware and the black vinyl covered metal gauge 
bezel of the original.  You must watch for these "parts car" offers on the 
list, Ebay, and the VTR clasifieds.  Most guys will supply these parts at 
relatively low cost or free for postage if your lucky like I was.

The details are on my website at
