Thumbs up Dashboard Restorations

If anybody is looking to get their old cracked dashboard re-done, these guys in WA are the ones that will put it looking Brand New again. I've heard of a few people using them for RX2, RX3 and even an R100, awesome work and "I quote". I may give them a try for my upcoming R100 project, which I will let this forum know how it worked out for me. Good Luck to all that have older Rotary Projects or any older project for that case. Here is the info!

Is there a practical limit to just how cracked the padding can be? Is there such thing as too far gone?

That's funny, I was asking the same question about my old lady. hehe.

What happened to all these links when I was asking for parts on my rx2 two weeks ago?

This is one of those threads that will need to be made a Sticky

Shameless plug, well here it is

Atkins Rotary (lots of knowledge as well as parts)
MannyMazda (take credit for your self dude You know the sources if you don't have a line on it already)

You can also PM me on alot of things I can't predict what I know and don't but I tend to buy in bulk and usually get large stashes of parts with the stray cars i drag home.

In my personal collection now are

R100 style (6)
Rx2 (2)
Rx3 (9)
Rx4 (6)
Repu (to dang many)
Cosmo (same story verse 2)
Rx7 (friggin rabbits, put 2 in the yard 30 more show up)


manny PM me about the R100 you know what i mean
