Posted: Thu Oct 23, 2008 7:23 pm Post subject: My new dashboard - totally restored! |

its almost from the same material as the orginal, if you wouldnt be 1m from my car with your dashboard you would say "holly sh... its original " . There is only 1 guy in Poland who is able to make such regeneration of the dashboard to Porsche cars.
Costs in total(for shipment also) - 200$
PS: i still have bannana on my face (almost 24h from installing it back ). _________________ The roads are waiting,but not yet my Porsche  |

yea but you dont have any guarantee how strong was the glue which was used for re-conditioning your dash,i know already that the one which was used to redone mine is v.strong coz i personally know 2 ppl who were driving cars in very hot summer days with those dashes and nothing...material is still on its place and doesnt want to go off. _________________ The roads are waiting,but not yet my Porsche  |

I'm not concerned about the quality of my work - the guy who did mine specialises in restoring old car interiors from the brink of disaster! I've seen plenty of his other work and it's top quality. Here's mine before:
And after!
Good luck with yours! Can't wait to see some pics of it all complete!
