Hey all,

cheers,

Your best bet is gonna be to get it retrimmed mate.
Place called dash doctor or something i think does it. Imagine most retrimming places would too.

........Oh and show us this fasty

most Trimmers don't do em

its the dashboard doctor or similar you need

last one I had done was $380 and wasn't fantastic - i guess it depends on what the dash is like to start with...! believe ther is someone in Bendigo or maybe Ballarat that does a better job for similar money...

congrats on the purchase - its a nice looking car - hope you get lots of enjoyment outta it..!

sorry ben, i havent actually had one redone myself so i was just presuming

as above the dash probably needs to be in a half decent nic to begin with for them to do a decent job. i think one of the ones i have is actually in two pieces so probably not the best candidate........ ill take a couple photos tomorrow and send em through. if ya want one its yours.

woh! thats a bit steep.. I could understand if it was absolutely brilliant. I'll ask a dude that does some trim work for us.. Weve only really used him when trims are damaged in the repair process so its mainly just small stuff.. welding burns, glass chips etc.

thanks for the kind words also man.. cant wait to pick up the t3, should be thursday pick up hopefully and i'll be cruisin.

its not dear i don't think but yes would want a better job done- will be a lot more specific on the next one...

oh and ive only met George a couple times through a fellow lufter. he's a good bloke and from what i'd heard that was a good fasty, very cool car

no wukkas ben, i couldnt remember what you thought of the dash doctor place, was gonna say ask 'type3disease' bout em.

do the benpondigo boys have a guy up there that does some work?

yeah i guess your right.. To get a good result you would have to spend quite some time and time is $$$

I think I have good cracked one if u
can say the same thing in one sentence.
I'll get it down from loft and get back to u

Yeah, Gino here in Benders does a ripper job. I think he may even have a type 3 dash in stock waiting to be coloured

cheers for the advice fellas.. i'll keep a look out at DOVW aswell. i'll be there in the fasty so say hello! Me and my mate love vdubs but are very much alone in our circle of friends! He has a nice narrowed bay which i'll try get some pics of up as he managed to get himself kicked off luft for being a zero poster

He's a sydney sider originally and ive made the move ost from fremantle a few years ago now..
We've been to Day of for the past 3 years and have stopped by the luft stand to buy merch and check out the cars.
