KitCars.com. From the ad:
"Autometer guages, Painless wiring, Leather seats, 4-point harness".

Email from the maker:
"The dash, not too hard to do - if you're a little handy. I started with some cheap
Styrofoam, the stuff they use in houses (blue / pink), once I had cut, glued and sanded it
into the shape I wanted - I applied a couple of layers of chopped strand fiberglass mat.
This was then upholstered with some 1/2" foam and vinyl, using a 3M spray adhesive - the
raised sections were done with aluminum sheet metal, upholstered the same way and then
bolted to the fiberglass dash / console (the bolts were fastened to the plate prior to
being covered)
The instrument panel - not that easy, unless you have access to a milling machine
(I'm a machinist and made it, and all the grills our of solid aluminum - sandblasted and
lacquered)
Oh yeah - you'll have to cover the foam with something, it's made of styrene - polyester
resin will attack it (use metal duct tape, and put some kind of wax or mold release on it
- so you can get it off once it has hardenned."

Quite a few things need to be done to the interior. These things are
best done together while the interior is torn apart.
Dash:
- Replace plastic radio cage (from '84)
- Steering column plastic (from '84)
- Add programmable speedo
Ceiling:
- Attach head liner fabric
- Reconnect 3rd brake light
- Driver side sail panel (from '84)
Power door locks & Alarm?
Power side mirrors?
