im thinking about fibreglassing my dash to, all custom work, but from the dash through the centre console, between gear shift and handbrake through the middle of the car, all in one piece. do you think $900 is a cheap price, not painted though.

there is a wreaked new mini on ebay at the moment.

In the UK the trend is starting of fitting new mini dash boards to classic minis. Now that would be cool. bit of work to trim the sides and make customs mounts. But do look fantastic. Also a set of new mini seats are also for sale. New mini interior comfort-looks. old mini outside 8)

dunno, but my door cards only cost me 50 each, although i did all of the work myself, just waiting for some paint. (the paint is included in that 50, only a small touch up can)

depends, how capable are you with fibreglass?, and not sure about one peice though, probably could be done.

thats what i was thinking about doing to my ute when i get it done.
might have to change the length of the door cards though, and the width of the dash etc, with the bini being larger.

not sure about the price, i havent ever needed to look into it. maybe call a few places, or visit if possible, just to get some quotes and see what the general price area might be.

Mine is made from ply, and is the prototype. Been two years since i put it in, just haven't gotten around to building the proper one yet. This one's ply, will probably make the final one from aluminium sheet (2mm) and have the holes for the 'gloveboxes' cut out properly.

Love the classic looks

Matt
