Rarely does one find an original Austin-Healey BJ8 dash in usable condition with most of its original burled walnut veneer, or at least I like to imagine. This one was brought in by a local customer, who is restoring the car himself. It had a few problematic areas, which were resolved with some pieces of veneer from a donor dash panel blended in, and then received approximately 6 coats of urethane clearcoat. There was plenty of sanding between applications, and even more buffing and polishing after the final coat.
Loving this shiny original burl walnut.
