Padded Vinyl Dash Revisited


fst2002

Recommended Posts

OK, I have been working through repairing my dash now for 3 months... I posted earlier my initial results only to see them crack!

 

I have tried many ways to repair a cracked dash... finally I believe I can say with certainty I have achieved my goal!!!

 

Now mind you, my car is being rebuilt so I'm not on the road yet. What I am saying is I think this repair will last several years before I have to get it restored correctly.

 

Your total out of pocket expenses will be right around 150 bucks give or take for all materials.

 

I have not finished my painting because the can of SEM satin black was bad so a replacement is on the way

 

The file attached is a PDF file but its pretty inclusive. I did forget to insert that the foam I used was Evercoat urethane foam I purchased from Eastwood Some product I bought locally - texture, glaze, etc.

 

But I am excited that My dash looks this good now!!! I will post final painted pictures as soon as its done!!!

Well 7.5 out of 10 would be my score... a few blemishes I didn't see until painted but considering what I had vs. what I have now! What an improvement!

    BMW Neue Klasse - a birth of a Sports Sedan

    Unveiling of the Neue Klasse Unveiled in 1961, BMW 1500 sedan was a revolutionary concept at the outset of the '60s. No tail fins or chrome fountains. Instead, what you got was understated and elegant, in a modern sense, exciting to drive as nearly any sports car, and yet still comfortable for four.   The elegant little sedan was an instant sensation. In the 1500, BMW not only found the long-term solution to its dire business straits but, more importantly, created an entirely new

    History of the BMW 2002 and the 02 Series

    In 1966, BMW was practically unknown in the US unless you were a touring motorcycle enthusiast or had seen an Isetta given away on a quiz show.  BMW’s sales in the US that year were just 1253 cars.  Then BMW 1600-2 came to America’s shores, tripling US sales to 4564 the following year, boosted by favorable articles in the Buff Books. Car and Driver called it “the best $2500 sedan anywhere.”  Road & Track’s road test was equally enthusiastic.  Then, BMW took a cue from American manufacturers,

    The BMW 2002 Production Run

    BMW 02 series are like the original Volkswagen Beetles in one way (besides both being German classic cars)—throughout their long production, they all essentially look alike—at least to the uninitiated:  small, boxy, rear-wheel drive, two-door sedan.  Aficionados know better.   Not only were there three other body styles—none, unfortunately, exported to the US—but there were some significant visual and mechanical changes over their eleven-year production run.   I’ve extracted t
