    dash and gauge repairs

    Hi Guys,

    update at where I'm at on repairs for some of our members.

    HJ308 HZ dash fascia. Used the bits from your WB fascia to make this one for you. Yours is the top one.....


    Jen and Rod HX fascia..... painted today, need to do the silver border and find some idiot light lenses...


    Jen and Rod HZ speedo... yes I found it and have completely rebuilt it... this speedo is calibrated perfectly, just need a new lense as I didn't have time to order one..


    Mooks gauge cluster... required another Temp gauge as yours was burnt out and another Oil gauge as the face on yours was heat distorted...


    Burnt out Temp gauge


    Looking good now, stripped, cleaned rebuilt and repainted. Just need to find what I have done with your speedo face?????

    Yes I use a standard kingswood fascia that still has the original radio cut out, I cut the radio section from the unbutchered standard fascia and weld it into the GTS fascia.

    Absinth, do we get in line for a dash job? How do I go about getting my dash done? I have a GTS facia with vandalized radio hole and broken tabs but also a standard dash for the necessary sections.

    You could try a PM to him, that should do the trick.

    A pm is a private message, click on Absinth's name in his profile and you'll see the PM option.
