Default WTB Early Dash

Anyone have an early dash off of a 944 or a 924S to sell cheap?

I do not care if it is cracked excesivly or whatever.. just as long as it is cheap.
I will be using it as a mold to make another dash but slightly modified to fit my needs.

I will have one soon. I just bought a good one to replace the really badly cracked one I have. If you can wait a few weeks and you don't find anyone else, you can have it for just shipping.

Let us all know what the shipping cost is - I think I got robbed by UPS shipping a dash from Kansas to San Diego (in transit this week).

I'm going to be making a new gauge cluster for mine and I have a 90% finished plug for making a mold for a two gauge set-up where the speaker cover is.

Can't help you for changing the look of the dash though.

I'll take a photo tomorrow of the gauge pod for the speaker cover. I haven't make a plug for the main cluster yet.

I'll probably use CF just because. I probably won't use the speaker cover pod because of how the cage is going in. I may make them as a production item down the road.

I'm messing with the car now. I'll take my digital camera down to take a photo of the plug for the two gauge pod over the speaker hole.

I am very interested in any mods you do to the dash and how you do it, as mine is badly cracked and Im sick and tired my P.O.S. Coverlay dash cover! I had the idea of upholstering it with some sort of material, but am unsure of what to use and how to do it...

StupEd05,
i have the upholster cover for it.. but i think it looks horible and there is not much for replacement dash. so i am probably going to keep the basic shape.. but the look and placement of gauges will be diffrent
