[red83sc]

i'm new to this board so thanks in advance ! i have an 83 sc with a trashed dash. i have a few questions:

1. does anyone know where i can get a used one in decent shape - vinyl ok (i've looked around with no luck)
2. if i was to buy a new one (ouch) does anyone know where i can get it discounted ?
3. i've gotten all the nuts off for the removal of the dash except the 2 directly
on the left and right side of the glove box, i cant figure out how to get at these to get them off. if someone knows how specifically to get at these the knowledge would be much appreciated.

thanks...

Welcome to the board! I'll leave it to Dr. K to fill you in on the obligitory introductions, pictures, etc.

Now to your dash. The stories of ill fittting new dashes are legendary, even if they are claimed to be NOS. I believe the best approach, and one that i'm going to do is to refurbish your existing dash. Couple of companies come to mind, Just Dashes www.justdashes.com/ and Classic Nine Leather www.classic9leathershop.com . It's not cheap, but less expensive than a new dash, and you know it will fit. In 101 Projects for your 911 has a chapter on dash removal. Your welcome to borrow it.

Been a LONG while but I recall some (most?) of the nuts you have to get to through the front trunk. Disassembling stuff up there to gain access isn't too hard. I also recall the glass has to come out to get a dash out?

The dash on my 85 was removed and replaced without removing the glass. There are a few screws that are a massive beatch to get with the glass in place, but it can be done.
