leather/vinyl covered dashes... gauging interest


BLUNT

Recommended Posts

1,2 or 3 piece dashes qualify. ive had at least 5 guys inquire about this in the last month so i contacted chris willett to see what he can do for those interested. here is a pic of the dash he did in that turbo flared black roundie that sold for huge money on ebay several months ago. i have not seen this dash with my own eyes but the quality looks good in this pic. price would be on a piece by piece quote as obviously some will require more repair before covering and there are lots of material choices., and there are differences in the technique used to cover a 3 pc vs a 1 pc. post up in this thread if youre interested with what style dash you have and ill speak with chris once he returns from SEMA

Blunt,

Wow! That's some beautiful work. I suspect that an owner going that route with their dash might also want to update their center console to match.

I'd consider going this route myself if I weren't spending all my '02 money on inter-cooler / oil cooler / beer cooler technology. And fans. Gotta have more fans.

I am about to install a 1 piece into my '72.

I'm definitely interested in a cover to keep the slight cracks from getting any worse.... provided the price isn't crazy.

I'm also interested in a vinyl dash cover for a single piece and a two piece dash. Very curious to see pricing relative to a Just Dashes refurb.

FWIW - I met an upholstery guy in OC who's done one or two sewn dash covers for '02s (among other cars) and he recommended making the covers in vinyl instead of leather. From his experience, he felt leather was more prone to cracking over time than good quality vinyl.

ok ive spoken to him and we are going to talk more when he returns from sema. ive just mentioned a group thing in hopes we can all save some on a quality piece. i can try and coordinate this but i really think because of all the variations its better to be a "quote" type deal. where we get a ballpark and it will be more if your dash needs extensive repair and you want it covered in endangered species rare spotted owl carcass vs. you send him a perfect dash and want it covered in marine vinyl. ill know more when he returns and will keep you posted

    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
