Default Series 3 Dashboard resurrection with Wood Veneer

See how my dashboard and the panel looks, wood veneer is applied and finishing but not done yet.
in couple of hours or tomorrow I will post the final photos.

To me the carpenter has done a very great job with the veneering.

Very nice! I like when different woods are used, instead of the standard walnut as used by the factory. It makes the car unique, special, more personal. Make sure you post photos when it's all back in the car!
