Before I put my moderately cracked dash in my rebuild-Golf Mk1, does anyone know where they can be repaired, or a source of new ones? I got a price from the UK of 440pounds before shipping and import duty - a bit steep I am afraid.

If you can get a GTI (pre '81) dash, they are made of hard plastic and never crack.
There are plenty of places in Sydney that reskin them.
I think Brian (GTI Imports) used to sell them. -
Mollins has a nice one for sale I think.
If not, there is one under my house.sigpic Camden GTI Performance. VW / AUDI Specialists

If you bog up and sand your current one, anyone that does trimming could make you a custom dash. I had one done in black leather and it cost $150 and looked better than stock. I also got to fill in the mono speaker grille and lose the chrome strip on the front

Car filler, not fibreglass.Originally posted by brackie
The smoother you get it, the better it looks under the leather covering.
I sold the one I got made in the end and decided to run a Mk2 dash, but it looked awesome. Stitching around the clocks and the nacelle, looked sweet. And more modern without the mono speaker or chrome strip.sigpic Camden GTI Performance. VW / AUDI Specialists

I put the dash out of an Audi 80 (mid 1980s I think???) that I got from the Canberra VW Centre for a good price in my MK1. Looks OK and no one has any idea what it came out of. More modern gauge cluster too which is nice. Took some time with a soldering iron but so worth it.MK1 floG soon to have 16v 2L with cable change gbox - need a 16v turbo manifold
