Default Rehabbed my dash and installed



I did some vinyl repair, stripped off the dye (it was blue originally) and dyed it black. I'm not thrilled with the finish yet - the shine isn't quite right (used SEM spray dye). I'll be adding a semi-gloss clear coat.

Big thing was rebuilding the heater ducting and fixing some rotted vinyl at the base of the waterfall.

Doesn't look bad IMO. Be careful overdoing it; filling in the subtle dash grain could be a problem.

I think it looks great...

But if you must, make sure you get one that's a goooood "UV" clear coat...

Its easy to be too picky when things are apart. When you get the cluster/glovebox/radio/clock/speaker grill/etc installed you'll be surprised how it all comes together...

And then when you get the glass in and the hood with 'your car color' then it will perk, 'shine' right up...
