Nooooooowwwwww

 

It was looking realy good and I was doing a test fit and final trim of my gauge pod I made into the dash, and it all went pete :cry:

 

I feel :hurl: now

 

So I need a new dash and quick

I got one in good nick, in fact almost perfect if you're interested? Bit far though...

I have one too, but I dont know where daventry is in relation to southampton?!?!?

Just checked, 108 miles, closer than Andy.

A next day courier will only charge circa £15.00-£20.00 to deliver a dash within mainland UK.. I have sent a few (Porsche)..

what happened to your dash bud? did you crack it?

There is one on ebay sitting at £10

No mate I cut great big holes in it for a gauge pod and didn't realise I couldn't get my air con ducting back on when fitting it.

Anyway just got one off Slick Pete and its in better condition than my old one, so happy days again.

OI! :slap: ;)

There are a few more holes I would like to make :p but a couple I would like to block up as well so Manta me ole mate your crown is safe.

So after my cock up with the gauge pod I got a new dash off Pete (thanks mate) and decided to cover all my panals with a nice cream suede I have gone and bought.

 

So I take the old velour off one panel and spray some glue on it and stick the new sueded on, it looks real nice, a pukka job you would say. Happy days so I get stuck into the rest, I did the dial cover and fitted that and wow it looks great, that was yesterday but today as I was putting one of the last pieces on I oticed that the dial cover had bubbled in the heat and the glue had gone soft.

 

Its got to come off and be reglued :headvswal oh well we live and learn.

i'd give up if i was you bud :)

Too late for that I'm an addict now.

 

I will get it right though, I'll stop trying to cut corners.

I have some carpet spray glue, strong enough I thought and easy to apply.

 

I think propper bostik contact adhesive will be the go next time.

yea its got to be "contact" stuff,spray 2 sides and leave a couple of mins to evaporate the solvents and sticko we go :) far better than all that fishy sponk they sell as glue

ps just rememberd it called "evostick contact"

Thats it but if I spray the suede I have the glue soaks through and ruins it, so I might have to get an iron on backing or something.
