Cracked up dash (plastic only) Is it worth anything?
I'm finally ditching my parts car ('91 TII) and decided to pull the dash only to find many places in the plastic that are already broken and/or cracked. The car doesn't seem to have been in an accident and I'm wondering how common this is. The visible black rubber/vinyl cover is perfect.
Do all FC dashes suffer from this? Can they be repaired? Is it still worth anything or should I **** can it? As I said before, it looks great where it counts.

Funny that I got a dash,same condition,
Can't give it away and the scrapper says..Nope,not steel..
Basically have to shove it in another scrap car to get rid of it..(what???)
10 years from now,you will look UP in a tree(in the back 40..heh,heh) and see a nice Rx7 Dash that squirrels are using for a condo...lol!
Oh,I got a hatch too..I may do tobaggan races this winter!

Thanks for the input guys. I think a sawsall could help make it fit in my trash dumpster.
But what a shame though. It really is nice looking.

I just sold the dash that was in my parts car...it was impossible to keep the plastic pieces from breaking. I got lucky and found someone that wanted them locally or else it was getting crushed as well...but like said above, its black and someone somewhere needs it. Lol
