Rallye Dash El Cheapo Resto

-
I installed the guages to keep them safe while I work on the rest of the dash.
Once this cures I will buff out some areas, you can see some tape marks in the pics but that will clean up nicely. There is also some minor touch up to do.
It's not perfect but will be good for my driver.

Looks really nice! very, very impressive work!!!!

I like to see a little elbow grease going into a ride because it makes it personal at that point.

You could probably charge a few hundred bucks or so to do some like that for other people who don't have the patience as you do.

Thanks cudaspaz, I agree with the elbow grease.

One day I hope to.:-D
 
There´s the living proof that it doesn´t need to be expensive to be a great job. Congrats! I should follow your example on this nicely done job.

Thanks Josecuda, and this way I can only blame myself for bad work. And I am my toughest critic.:-D
Glad to hear you got your horns.

Just wanted to share my dash refurbish with anybody interested.
Need to do on the cheap with spray bombs but it should come out ok. :-D

What I have done so far is disasemble, clean guages up, repaint needles, polish lenses, remove wood grain trim, strip paint.
I used oven cleaner to strip the old paint and chrome.
I will do any repair work before priming. It doesn't need much.

Thanks from myself as well!! I will be giving it a go with my dash as well. Trust me,If I need help I will be calling on you!! Craig..
 
Awesome job !

..I read on another board some time ago that you can replace the old lights with LEDs and I guess it makes you dash pop and night..that is, you will be able to see what is written on the gauges..

Thanks grassy.
I try not to drive at night. :sunny: but I have done some research on LEDs.
 
Well the Rallye dash I purchased from a member here was alot worse the I expected. I looked at pictures before I bought, but couldn't see the real damage. He did say it needed work but could be fixed. It could be fixed, but I do not want to spend the time. So back to plan A, which was the origional dash which I had allready painted. I will mask off and cut for the rallye guages to fit(I still have to buy a angle grinder). This is where im at.
