Needing to replace absolutely post nuclear war condition dash and pod in a car.

What colour? There is a dark blue set on Kijiji.ca in Montreal.

Edit, dash and pod are sold.

Its a gold '79, with brown headliner and 1/4 panels ...so brown/black would probly be the obvious choices...but...holy crap, that was a good deal I could have worked with.

be aware that the stresses of shipping will often increase the number and severity of existing and potential cracks...... an un-cracked pod may look great until you touch it .

My feeble memory harkens way back to a question posted by Susan @ Devek. A customer dropped of a car for work, and it sat outside long enough for the dash and pod to crack. "Who's responsible?" was the question.

I added an inexpensive "dash mat" within weeks of the beginning of my stewardship period. Added those ugly mirror bra's to it at about the same time. I don't thing either has been off more than half a dozen times in almost 20 years. I do peek under for cracks, so far none found. (knocks on vinyl... gently)

Got a dash you love, or even one you don't love? Prescription is the same but for different reasons.

Here"s an old one. Titled "pod restoration", started by ceedee with replies on (edit: multiple) processes ( including from Rob Budd and Dan the Pod Guy).

FWIW Rob Budd is making a very Nice Alcantra pod cover,
with a little bit of Weldwood brush on cement your pod will look new, no patching required .

I have fitted two of them and they look great,
and give a custom touch to your pod,
available in different colors just ask

Red would look awesome...wonder how it would hold up fade-wise in the sun...

Looks like a nice solution and I actually prefer the alcantara texture to the original. How does the alcantara cover blend into the front face of the pod? Could you show a close up of that please? Cheers, John

Mrmerlin

the cover is made to fit the top portion of the pod better pictures are needed

How would you prepare a warped dash for this sort of cover?
