Title: Dismantle and remove dash FC Post by: Sunday special on July 09, 2010, 04:42:25 PM Hi Everyone,
I havnt posted for ages , My Baby has been garaged since Australia Day this year due to a new Garage/Workshop being constructed at my place. Now it has been decided that My FC will be our wedding car in FEB 2011.......some work to be done!!! I will post photos of the journey... It has just gone off to the Panel shop for the Tops to be re-done (India Ivory) my interior is a fairly aged and original, so i am also painting the dash the same colour,I have the recently available dash fascia surround and new knob surrounds. Would anyone be able to assist me in where to start taking the dash out ? Cheers, Also I may be investigating sourcing another FC for the Big day So anyone willing to hire out for a few hours? Melbourne.

Where did you get your surround from?

There is a few comments about rares surround not very good at all. They were not the same as the approved sample apparently Pete Title: Re: Dismantle and remove dash FC Post by: Sunday special on July 16, 2010, 05:32:21 PM Ah yes, Battery step one.....a given.
My old dash surround was so deteriated (as most are) that i cant even compare it to the new one. Has anyone heard of Exotic Kustoms in Carrum Downs? I saw there web site and there was a sweet FB that they has resto'd Im re-thinking the just getting the White tops and sash and going all out ..........I would have the future wifes approval cause you know..... its for the wedding and all:) |
