I am new to here and from the states but checking out as many websites I can to get idea of what I am going to do to my ghia. I am leaning towards a custom dash since the previous owner did a hack job on my dash. Does anybody have any pictures of their dashes custom or not
Thanks

squizy Thinking about another dub...maybe

No pics of mine, but all I did was pull the old rotten dash pad off, and smoothed it out. Kept everything else standard.

Hey if they've cut it up and drilled it out an easy fix might be to do an alloy face plate...This is how mine came and i quite like it

I customised my L bug dash and had it re-covered by dashboard restorations in Brisbane a few years ago. They did a great job. Here is there website - www.dashboardrestorations.com.au
