Dash repair
 
Ok Ive heard of this being done before and Im wondering if anyone has done it before, or knows how.
If I remember right it said they used spray in insulation in the cracks then they carved it down then sanded it smooth.
OR they did the same thing but with bondo. :102: I have no clue

Ok looks like this is how you do it
Remove the dash from the car and clean it up, Then mix up the bondo and fill in the cracks in the dash, let it cure then sand it down and when you get down to the lifted up part of the dash shave it down even with the rest of the dash, re-bondo it if necessary and re-sand if necessary. As for getting the texture right Im not even sure where to start...

Do a thin layer of fibreglass across the entire dash. Then sand it smooth & paint it. :)

i mixed some epoxy and filled my cracks in my 240 dash. i sanded it smooth and then i fb the whole thing to make it smooth, primed and painted...came out great. didnt break the bank either

Dash Caps are too much for just fixing 2 cracks

I'm never used fiber glass, and it should a bit annoying.

And Epoxy Bondo same thing really lol

Dude...it's cool man. Don't insult somebody, that is trying to do something on their car. And where do you get off, calling this a pathetic site? I have learned a great deal on this forum. And I still continue to learn as I go. And who said you have the best Z on this site? You? Come on man, just try to be a little more respectful to others on here. We all try to get along, and help each other out. We don't need a bunch of negativity.

Not trying to offend or insult you in any way. And I usually keep to myself, more than 90 or more % of the time. That is all I have to say. Thank you. :)

piss off. stop whoring.

Its annoying and useless input to the forum :075:

On a sidenote to this, does anyone know if a S30 dash would fit in a 280zx?
I like the look of the dash, but don't want to customize mine with heavy fibreglass work.
