I've completely disassembled my 75' 914 and it is headed to the media blaster next week.
one casualty was the dash pad. I failed (fu'd) to see the 2 nuts under the gauge hoop and when I lifted it off it ripped like a piece of paper. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif) So I F'd up a perfectly good dash pad b/c of my stupidity (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ar15.gif) it's cracked on each side of the hoop...one is very slight and the other more jagged. Can I glue it and do some kind of "body" work on it, or am I just screwed and have to get another one from someone who knew what they were doing when they removed it? I'm just (IMG:style_emoticons/default/barf.gif) over this and would like to keep the original one in the car if it can be fixed and look like it never was F'd up. |

I fixed cracks in my dash but you have to refinish it and there's nothing that looks like leather and sprays on.
Considering that you're more anal than I am, I would say you need a new one or at least a recoated one. Don't think yours is a good core for recoating. Camp914 offers recoating services. |

decided to get a $350 replacement from a recycler...I will try to repair the original one and sell it.
kicking myself in the ass for being impatient and screwing up the good original one. |
