Default Need a late dash for my racecar... anyone out West have a beater?

My dash in the 87 is PERFECT... not a single crack. I hate to leave it in the race car when there are so many that are not perfect out there. I'm about to get some cage work done and if I am pulling the dash for that then I might as well put a crappier one back in and not cut up the full leather one that came in my car. I'm going to full black interior in the turbo and will use the perfect one in that car.

Anyone have one available? Preferably as close to Portland 97222 as possible to minimize shipping.

Thanks!

Why not just use the one out of the turbo?

Cause then I have to take apart the turbo dash right now too. Don't wanna do that til WAY after the track car is done and done. Besides the turbo dash is poo brown.

I just want to give a spare dash to the cage builder and tell them to hack the hell out of it however they need to.

Dunno, got wheels for me? Nothing on the books, but have to check with the missus and see if she was doing something...certainly Saturday morning until probably around 4-5, maybe earlier. I'll even bring beer this time.

Is your current '87 dash a non-airbag?

Yep... both the turbo and the NA have late non-airbag dashes.

Porsche MUST have changed the dash formula when they went to airbags, 98% of non airbag dashes are in excellent condition.

If it was an airbag I was going to suggest a swap.

My turbo dash in poo brown has some cracking. Nowhere near as bad as the 83 I parted, but it is there near all the defroster outlets.

Hey, I have one that is in OK shape (I use the term loosely). PM me if you want, we can work out the details. I assumed you were still looking for one in Washington.
