Project Dash rebuild (Dasho)

[saif najd]

Hi every one,

Hear we go, I searched every where and asked around and no one wanted or/and adviced to fix my dash!

And I understood it is a lost cause! But unfortunately to everyone I don't care and it should be fixed

I found a friendly compound which is the Epoxy! Yaaaah it is clay like so easy to shape and dry fast

So here is some photos of my first steps:







Using the clay like Epoxy (grean and white for Pvc) and few calp I managed to rehold the front which resulted an improvement by ~85%

Now I am working on the upper side and lastly would work on how to cover my mess


Please any advices or comments just shooot

Side note: I used the Epoxy to reshape the melted A/C Fan speed controller to work again (sorry I couldn't take photos my phone battery was dead)

What is happening here?

All I see is the same dash I see in the JYards. No offence intended.

No taken it is true as I said my mobile died on me but hear is the story I have cracks and holes as well the idea is to reattach the fallen parts and cover the cracks and reshape the Epoxy to do the holes for the front face cover metal clips

The result as I said was very good now the front is not shaking or falling and I just done the leather cover (photos coming soon)

More have been done :thumbup:

I used new glow as I was told by a plastic welding shop (who refused to do any work on the dash) that I need to use a glow that is strong and have some flexibility!!!

That is the advice by the masters! I have to solve that mystery by my self, So I ended up using:
1- Pvc clay Epoxy.
2- Gun glow (mystery solved!)

So I am waiting for the pictures to be up loaded. . . . . .
