Don't end me

Haven't seen any used dashes around for ya, Chris. I can try to contact some Datsun guys out in Arizona if you want. They may have one/know someone with a dash pad if the reconstruction doesn't work.

Honestly, I need the headlight trim/scoops really bad. If you know of anyone with them let me know!

Ok thanks for the help!

Small update:

I got the body of the console broken down today and the old vinyl stipped off. I'll be cleaning this up a little but overall it's in very good shape. Hopefully it'll be rewrapped tomrrow and reassembled/complete!

My key to world peace is acrylic/methacrylate structural adhesives. But, as you know I'm a huge geek. So my version of world peace is slightly more.. geeky.

LOL thanks!

I stayed up late last night and decided to finish the center console. I think it turned out reallllllly nice! It still have to mount the latch and the trim on the bottom side of the lid, but I want to clean it up and paint it before mounting it.

Here is the lid, that foam was not fun to get off:
