Lots of cracks in the dashboard.

[Daniils]

I just picked up my 1996 skyline GTR today. It looked so nice on the Auction pictures; and so Sh#$ty in person.
Its got 10+ cracks in the dashboard; and some cigarette burns in the roof lining. (looks like someone put out a couple of cigs there)
Anyway does anybody know a good shop/person that can restore my dashboard and the roof lining? Thanks.

Your best bet would be to wait for someone to part out a R32 and grab the dash and head board. Theres lots of lines rippin around Van its just a matter of time.

theres a guy that comes to our shop to do dashes and other misc items but he charges crazy money to get dashes looking mint. Like kenny said, just wait for part out.

[Daniils]

define crazy money?
How much for a dashboard restoration?

[blkgtr02]

Normally for a dime sized rip on leather seats is around 150-200 for icbc and like 100 for private jobs.
If ur dash is more than 4 or 5 im guessing maybr 200-300?
I can give u his number if u want a quote.

yes!
haha

I wouldnt even consider a repair. If the dash is cracked, its seen a lot of sun. Its just crap to work with.

There are a hundred 32 dashes around. do you have an R33??? there is a sponsor parting a r33 right now, you could inquire about the dash. if you need a 32 dash. I have several in alberta and can bring one here next month for you.

Theres a build thread on SAU. The guy did this in his race-car with a 'semi' how-to. It's REALLY cool.. Definitely something i'd like to do in the future.. Just too lazy to pull the damn dash out..
