    Dash Recovering

    Has anyone used Dashboard restorations in Bribane? Do they do good work or is there someone else that I should talk to?

    Do it yoursellllllf!. I've redone a few now. Is easy! Best thing I have ever found is the padded vynil off of the old style hard sided waterbeds. One I redid over 10 yrs ago is still like new! Possibly a little harder to source nowadays however. I have recently done one with marine grade vynil and it has done the job well too, albeit a little harder to work with.

    cheers

    DIY is not an option. I need to be sure dashboard restorations are going to do a good job, anyone who knows me or has seen my work knows how much trouble I have gone to.

    Not sure what he is like, I tend to recomend Dash revivals at Jimboomba. I get a lot of good reports. There is also a guy in Melbourne that does a good job but he has a 3 month wait list at the moment.

    Cheers,

    Hey Iro11, how did your dashboard restoration go? I've had one of mine done with carpet, but I'dlike to get the other done the same as the original.

    The vinyl you need is two way stretch. so it will form compound curves better. The best suggestion (shudder) is find out who does the best custom audio work in the city or as far away as you'll travel or if you can send. The ones who do it well are extraordinary.

    Hi TJWA, Sorry for the late reply I have been in the UK for a while and only just read the post. Here are some pics, I think they turned out quite good.
    BTW the top crash pad is NOS.

    Oh nice, where did you get the NOS from? You ended up using Dashboard restorations in Brisbane?
