Default dashboard replacement

I am looking to replace my cracked dashboard on my 1980 SC. Has anyone done this? How involved is it?

Default dash

If you need to have the dash refurbished, it will necessitate a windshield removal.

Yes, you must remove the windshield, but it is not that complicated, just a PIA...

I had mine restored by Autos International, because it was a full Burgundy leather interior, and they did a nice job. If yours is not restorable, you may have a problem... OEM replacements may not be available. There is a thread about a week or two on this... worth looking it up...

Good luck.

Sourcing a new one is not possible at this time. I spent hours scouring the web looking for one. If your's can't be repaired, Lakewell.com is a great alternative. Probably better than a new one from Porsche and you'll save $500. Only problem is orders placed today won't deliver till mid-May.

I currently having Air redoing my dash (82SC). Check out their website or call. Friendly people to speak with and are well versed on dashes. Check out Bad Golfer Cars post on pelican entitled 911SC Targa dashboard. There are good photos and may be of help.
