I put a post in another forum but will try my luck here. My 65 Notch has a badly cracked dash. I'm after a reeplacement or to get mine repaired if possible.

Anyone in Sydney have one or point me in the right direction to a local repairer?

Many thanks

Shit i don't know what to do:bounce

Now $80 + is pretty appealing at this stage of the game. The interior is black throughout anyway so it would match and when i'm done with the glass mods to the car you won't see the top of the dash as the glass will be tinted at both sides (top & bottom) ala touring car style and help a few lines flow............

But on the other hand everytime i'd look at the dash cover I would know underneath it's knackered! As crazy as it sounds that would piss me of more than a squeaky brake!

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Okay count me in for one , i'm getting poorer by the minute so it will do for now. Thanks. Just hope my brakes don't squeak aswell :duh

I need a dash mat for Vern to cover up the nasty cracks on his dash. Can I get a black one for a 74 beetle

haha put it this way... once you have a nice perfect dash... wouldn't you like to cover it anyway? Anyway I'll let you all know when it's done... hopefully soon.

There is a place in Brisbane that does up cracked dashboards better than original....
I've given the name out a few times but will have to find their card to tell You where they are...

Hi

There is a place at Carlton (Sydney) called the Department of Interior, I spoke to them about doing a modified dash for my 1303 and they were very helpful.
