Paul - with as far as you've come with the car, it must be disheartening to find that hidden corrosion in there. But you caught it (thankfully) and addressed it - so that's great! The car is looking amazing. So to the teak wood.

Paul, everything looks great. Is that a solid teak dash?
Walter....yes made up of 5 solid laminates. Only way to get it bent.
Im not sure, but the 3 holes are in all cars.
My guess would be that they are for location pins prior to welding the ring on.

Well the painters have poly painted the whole car...........after block down will be ready for u/coat ..........at which time car will go onto Rotisserie.......and then the final 3 or 4 coats of topcoat followed by clear coats.
The lines of the car are really coming alive now.

I've always perceived nachtblau as a little darker and less "electric" than the color in your example pics. But it is always tough to be definitive with pictures. Here are a couple of nachtbau pics from the internet/registry (car pics from members' cars).
I think the side view of this car has been enhanced. Quite a bit.
Gentlemen....thank you for your input.....now can I get some opinions (this will be good) My painter has sprayed and old door skin in a colour I am considering and also he is holding up my mates C1 corvette hardtop as another colour consideration (excuse his tatts and unshaven face ) what do you think???

...sort of Turkis v Fjord ? ...door colour is my preference of the two. . Good to see your painter has mandatory safety footwear.

What are you thinking for the interior? I like the colour on the door too...
In this case - irrelevant.
Door color.
well the original delivery colour was Polaris Silver. in 1983 it had a colour change to Fjord Blue and that is how I bought the car before starting the resto project......without a matching numbers engine.... shortly will have an M90/B34 engine and 5 speed box so matching numbers is definitely out the window......I thought in keeping E9 colours I would go for Turkis 065 which you all seem to like ( I am glad about that.... good to get 2nd opinions) with mid tan leather upholstery (see attached) Yes.......I like the comment on "mandatory workplace footware" hehhehhe
I am thinking of spraying the rocker panels in a Mid Grey to Charcoal colour (non gloss) instead of the standard Black. Thanks for your comments
