Sent Dashboard to Aussie Land.
Well, I haven't read anywhere here about somebody that has used Dashboard Restorations in Australia. So, I will be the guinea pig and try them. I sent them a spare dash I bought. It's black, has some cracks and the metal bar in the center is broken on one end. I sent a sample to color match my blue interior. I'll have it back in about 2 to 3 weeks tops. Will post pictures of it and let everyone know cost and if it will fit back into the car.

I have heard of them, they are supposed to be fairly expensive as far as dash resoration is concerned, I have another source for dash restoration in West Australia, I can supply details if anyone is interested. They gave me a price of Approx AU$400 for a dash with minor cracks and no distortion.

Hey Greg, the address is 6/4 Lancashire St. Acacia Ridege, Queensland 4110. The cost is AUD 348 which is about 266 USD. I have heard from other people who have used them that they do a good job, but these are not 928 dashes either. But if it turns out bad then it's not like I haven't blown that much money before. Who knows it made be the best thing since sliced bread.

No sorry I'm in New South Wales, I will put some feelers out for you, no garantees of info. You are lucky you didn't send it to the guys that I mentioned, nothing but trouble. We'll see what we turn up.

Voila!
Hope this turns out well for you.
My interests are strictly selfish... That Red 83' I found out in the boonies is in need of a dash make over.
At the price you mentioned for a dash recover/repair it will certainly be worth buying the sHARk for a miserly $2500.
Let us Know ... Puhleeeze!
