Dash retrimmed

Recommended Posts

As part of my cars rebuild I've been trimming the interior parts using a certain ebay sellers leather covers.

 

Most are a pretty good fit, but their dash cover is total garbage. So having wasted money on 3 attempts, I did what I should of done from the start and took a spare dash to a professional at top of their game.

I have to say the results are amazing!

 

1) Made and just draped over dash

Looks great, i've tried to get hold of this guy before but had no reply. Will have to try again

 

What are you wanting done Ric? I'm collecting the dash on Saturday so let me know if you need me pass on your number or anything.

Can’t believe you still haven’t got it back. They are taking their sweet old time with it!

 

Looks lovely Mark, Vinney does great work but this if reflected in his price. Are you still having issues with your mapper?

 

Priorities seem to be:

1) Any with a drift car competing in BDC

2) Any drift car not competing in BDC

3) Any wannabe drifter

4) Any car that can be turned around the same day

5) Any car that can be turned around the same week

6) Any car but mine.

7) Mine if he has any spare time........

Vincent has kept the pattern/template, so in it's a bit less of a chore if anyone wants theirs done. Plus once i do swap mine over there will be a spare dash (minus loom) that could be used on an exchange basis.

 

Oh my! I sense a group buy stirring and my wallet begging for mercy already! :D In a good way though ;)

You need to go in and start kicking up a fuss mate. You’re a paying customer just like everyone else so why should yours be put to the back of the queue every time...even if it is extra work from the norm for them
