Was finally able to get to the dash pad today!
Sanded/painted the dash top and installed the pad (Repop fitment was OK but bumps up in the middle due to stud placement...)
Also threw in my gauge cluster with the new bezel and lens.
Here are the photos of my progress.
Masked up and ready to put some paint down:

Put some paint down and peeled off the front masking paper to prep for dash pad:
Dash pad going in:
Cluster in with new wiper and headlight knobs as well:
Next on my list is to get the heater controls rebuilt and reinstalled, install the glove box and maybe start trying to clean up this hack-job wiring done by the PO
