BIG job to change over
I saw Pete Klaack use a felt to cover a cruddy dash the other day
Came up looking a million dollars
A LOT easier than trying to swap a dash
I will try and find EXACTLY what it was
Either that or those fibreglass ones look ok
Just make sure you pull the outer vents and pop them in the cover
Futue te ipsum!!!

I sent my L bug dash to a mob in Brisbane called Dashboard Restorations at http://www.dashboardrestorations.com.au/index.htm
I modified it a bit first, and this is how it worked out if the photos will attach

I had it done in early 2005, and can't find the invoice. I think it was about $600, but that also included the face of the guage pod as in this
photo, and it was the much bigger L bug dash. Their website does give quite a good run-down of how they do them.

I had same problem an used Sikaflex-227 to fill cracks and raised the surface by 2-3 mm. I then I used a sanding block to level, very tedious but a
reasonable result. Because the leather look texture was lost I sprayed with plastic paint then top coated with charcoal textured paint. Took a couple
of weeks for the Sikaflex to cure enough to sand, the result is not perfect but 100% better than it was, all up costs about sixty dollars.
