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 |

Here is one from drivers side.
My origiinal dash could not be re-covered. The top of the instument cluster had several spider web cracks in it. I bought this dash on Ebay for $20. It was in good shape other than the normal cracks on the passenger side. The cracks have to be cut flush, filled w/ bondo & sanded smooth. Mark 73 2.0 |
