These should hold up a lot better than the thin vacuum formed plastic on the original. These looked like they were wrapped in upholstery vinyl which should be a lot more durable. Not to mention the plastic shouldn’t warp and rot from the humidity like the original fiberboard. Looking forward to seeing how they hold up! Hopefully, the next 30 years of the cars life will be a lot better than the first. Off to a good start since it’s owned by someone that cares enough to spend that amount to make her look good again!

Thanks!

Thanks! Glad you like it!

Thanks!

I have and found it isn’t worth the effort. If you have a large vacuum form you can make it look close but it will just crack again. You also must have an unwarped dash to work with. Some dash companies can redo the dash but the ones I’ve seen aren’t exact not to mention will crack again and about the same price as this new dash. I have seen some DIY guys use everything from spray foam to bondo and I would rather just have a new dash… these new ones aren’t thin vacuum form but thick molded vinyl so it shouldn’t crack if taken care of properly 👍

I believe the owner purchased it from Sunset Porsche

Thanks! I believe the owner sourced it from Sunset Porsche here in the states. Not sure if it’s available in RHD but a local dealership should be able to help you out.

Thank you so much. It's a bummer I just called my local in Sydney Australia no luck on the RHD hopefully they will start making them soon!!

Yes, this is a great question that I should have addressed in the video! In The original 924 and on European 944’s without air conditioning there is a volt gauge where our clock is. So the clock sits where our A/C switch is and that other light is for the volt gauge. I hope that helps!

@@edredas Fantastic...thank you very much! I can now move forward🙂

This is a great question! Here’s my opinion from being around them for over 20 years. The 2,0 litre 1982 924 has mechanical fuel injection that will require a specialist to keep it running, if you can find one. On a good day it might do 0-60 in 9 seconds, so it can be scary getting out on the road. The 924S and later 944 is like driving a modern car. My fairly new 200 hp Lexus has about the same 0-60 time. They also have electronic fuel injection that anyone can service. When the belts are changed and service is done at the correct intervals, they are extremely reliable cars. I can’t say the same about the 2,0L engine.

Hello and thank you for your helpful replay. I would like to ask you a few more questions. But im in las vegas and wont be able to come to your shop and spend some money in return. But what i would like to do is send you $100 and then supply my question in writing, so you dont have to bother with questions going back and forth online. And you know all the cars very well and can answer all my question in a trustworthy fashion. Would that be an acceptable option? Thank you Kurt

@@edredas Spot on!

@edredas sounds great! I'll be in touch with a laundry list after the holliday 😆
