Okay so I am finally finishing off my LE & will be putting it up for sale. My problem is the dash I bought on ebay as uncracked isn't. When it came it looked great in the shrink wrap. I didn't pull it out as it was still months off from being installed. Bad move as when I pulle the shrink wrap off I could see the cracks. If held just right the dash cracks totally disappear. Well I went ahead & installed it & the cracks are easy to see. Just pisses me off every time I look at it.
So my question is should I bother replacing it? Or just sell it like it is? I don't want to spend a mint finding a perfect dash. My other option is getting Morph's recovered dashes. They look great but are a stitched dash. So obviously that isn't stock. Now my LE Creamsicle is a very nice driver. Really not concours but will show well. For my interior this is really the only obvious flaw. Everything else is in excellent shape & no cracks or tears. Say you were the buyer? Would you be good with the newly stitched dash? Prefer the stock dash cracked? |

I just went ahead & bought the dash. I figure if it's an early dash I'll put it in my 70 v8 conversion. Still I hope it is a late dash so it can go in my LE (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)

Should fit perfectly. As well I don't think its bleached. I bet a good careful cleaning or a touch of back to black will do the trick. I had a targa top that was tons worse that was made to look almost new with a cleaning. |
