Lower dash panel – how is it supposed to look?

So, when I bought my car years ago, the lower dash panel on the driver side was not attached. I’m guessing it’s the original panel, but who knows. The trouble is that there are 3 holes in the panel...

Re: What is this little hook on the air horn near TPS for?

Thanks again!...
