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 |

Just Dashes can supposedly recover them nicely, but it isn't cheap.
I agree that the plastic covers look kinda lame. The problem is the only cover the front portion, not the whole dash, and are just a bit to noticable. If I didn't want to fork over the big bucks for a new OE pad, I'd rather slap one of those velour covers on top to hide the problem. |
