Swapping the dash does sound dubious, does it "encourage" a speedo change at the same time? I guess as long as the history backs up the mileage it's fine.
Any my other bits to look out for that I can check?
thanks!

If I'm honest it doesn't look amazing for the money. It's got a few bits like the inner wings that have been mentioned and things like the dash and also the seat mounts look quite rusty. The main things to look for on these really is rust, make sure you get a good look and feel around the inner and outer sills and arches as the kit does hide a lot of the rot. Also if you can pull the door rubber off at the bottom and pull the carpet away from the inner sill near the floor number And that rusty seat mount you should be able to see if there's any rot around these areas. Again if your not sure leave a deposit and at least get a report done on the car from anyone even the aa.
