I have a 1982 GSL that i completely gutted. The dash had chunks ripped out and very faded so i just tore the whole pad off. Has anyone come across a carbon fiber dash for a first gen ?? -Thanks

 

you'd probably have to custom make a cf dash cap. those parts aren't normally made for older cars like ours.

 

retro fit like a honda cf dash or something. OR i think xl8r or someone was putting a nice FD dash into the fb

 

It's not something that is made, at least to my knowledge...

Maybe you could talk to FiberMaz and see if there is an interest in producing such a product?

 

FiberMaz made one, but for right hand drive, also think his was just for 79-82. Sorry don't recall exactly. Wish there was aftermarket out there for my 85. I'm already looking into his cf door blanks, center bezel, and center console. Trying to reduce as much of the interior as possible while retaining a complete look, not gutted.

 

Custom job

 

Yea I bet they would sell. If you want a cheap fix get a salvage dash and nice carpet cover. I don't know if coverking makes one for FB's but I have had them in other old cars.

 

would be nice

 

i saw one on ebay awhile ago. but it was for right hand drive. pretty sure it was an auzzie

 

oh man that had to look nice...member the ebay name or the guy selling it

 

For the record, if you have a doner dash, it's pretty easy to make a mock-up/mold for your own C/F or fiberglass work. The dash outer (the part you see) is pretty simple.

-- edit --

I'm considering making a C/F dash for myself (Due to fiberglass looking like hammered mango ***,) is anyone else interested?

 

I would be interested in a true replacement, not just some cheap cap or cover. I'm sure an experience layer would be able to do it. I'd love to send my dash to Fibermaz for him to use as a mold, but shipping would be a PITA and I don't want to be dashless. I took out the a/c in my FB, and would like a dash that would be a complete one piece to include the center stereo bezel area as I don't listen to casettes much, lol and have no need for my stock equalizer...

 

Problem is it would be somewhere between $600.- $1200. + shipping another $400. (guessing) Who here is really going to pay that? NOBODY....thats who. Just keeping it real fellas.

 

lol @ hammered mango ***

 

no i wish. but my friend is going to try and make one in the near future

 

Yea im not really goin for the gutted look either. i was just try to get as much of the red/maroon crap out as i could. im probably gonna paint some of the red pieces black or just find some new ones. :-/
