    Its a suede material glued to the dash so the light doesn't reflect onto the windscreen..
    
    Looks mint.

    right basically if you have a haynes manual its in there.
    
    there are large bolts that go through the bulkhead into the scuttle area irc.. you need to remove all them etc..
    
    also the wiring may be attached to the dash as on some cars it is.
