Restoring a 91 Spider... anyone know where I can find a dash?
Almost everything is back to 100% factory. It sure looks and runs
great except that damn crack on the top of the dash... anyone have a suggestion where I can find one? Thanks, Joe Cortney Dallas |

No, but I know how to fix stuff like that. Remove the dash, and fibreglass underneath the crack, trying to pull it closer together. When the fibreglass has cured, apply body filler to the top, and sand back to shape. Once this has cured / set, get hold of a plasticised spray designed for spraying interior trim and paint it. As an alternative to spraying, you can apply a very thin layer of foam rubber to the dash, trimmed with vinyl. I had a good deal of success repairing / trimming the rear interior panels in a Fiat 124 Spider using this method. -- Steve H 'You're not a real petrolhead unless you've owned an Alfa Romeo' http://www.italiancar.co.uk - Honda VFR800 - MZ ETZ300 VW Golf GL Cabrio - Alfa 75 TS - Alfa 155 TS Lusso - COSOC KOTL BoTAFOT #87 - BoTAFOF #18 - MRO # - UKRMSBC #7 - Apostle #2 - YTC # |

Other alternatives are getting the dash recovered (Just Dashes) or buying a new
one (several choices, such as Centerline Alfa and RH Hurtienne). Either of these options are quite pricey. Or you could watch eBay. They don't come up often, but they do show up. --Bob Farace "I only believe in fire." --Anais Nin |
