I'm restoring a 1972 914 with a 2.0 1974 engine. Most of my time so far as been spent on the mechanicals. I'm starting to focus on the interior. The dash on this car, as in many of these cars, is in sorry shape. Any thoughts on full replacement vs. one of those dash covers?
Thanks |

IMHO the dash covers look lame, post in the classified for a used one if the new ones are too much $$$. I just sold the one I had LAST WEEK for cheap to move it.
