New crack free dashboard

Post by gallego »

Hey all, desperate to post an image of my new crack free dash but don't know how to put images on...can anybody help?

Clearly ripped my hands to shreds doing it if anybody wants to carry out the same change, buzz me to avoid plasters!!!

Hi

do you have a photo bucket account?

I can give you instructions using that method if it helps.

I also recovered my dash last year. Its been in a box since, Im dreading taking it out in case anything has unglued since:-)

thanks

No but will set one up in the morning.

Did you manage to take the old one out easily?

Took my 964 into Porsche Exeter for a service and they had no idea in fact they hadn't see a 914 go through their workshop...

morning

nearly - when your in the PB site on the photo you want to use, look at the right hand side in the PB page youll see a matrix. The bottom option is IMG. If you click on the url to the right of IMG (or sometimes cut the url depending on your browser) and paste it in to the DDK section it will pop up as a photo when you access the DDK page...

fingers crossed :-)...

looks very nice BTW, what vinyl did you use?

Thanks for the info and comment - will try to post the pictures later. The dash is an original without damage (amazingly) so not re-covered. Replacing was the worst job I have ever had to do on her!!!

Thanks - deciding on whether or not to trim seats in leather - not original I know. Also tempted to sell her?!
