HomeHOW TO DO AN ADVANCED SEARCH.
Mon Jul 08, 2013 3:56 pm by Admin
For the benefit of 944Hybrids users there are two search functions available for you to use.
The purpose of this sticky is to explain the "Advanced Search" function because it is much more powerful and is the best choice when researching information.
When you log on to the site a list of options is shown in a line at the top of the page. One option is labelled "Search", use this option (NOT the search box lower down on the right).
After you click on the upper search option, a drop down box appears. At the bottom of this box is a radio button marked "Advanced …

Admin: Make an early dash repro

Yes, you.
If you take some time and make a quality, precise-fitting reproduction of the early 944 dash in plastic or maybe even FG I would pay a few hundred dollars for it, and I imagine many dozens of other people would as well.
I would attempt this myself as I am fairly handy with FG but I have heard nothing but good things about your products.
I made this a thread so maybe others can chime in support for this idea.

Hey Fellas, I saw this and thought I would throw my 2 cents in. I have an 84' I am doing the swap on, and my dash is totaled, so I started to Bondo it up and get ready to Fiberglass it. I am not running any HVAC on the car, so for now I am covering up all the vent holes. I want to see how this one turns out, and then if it turns out good, I want to make another and do a mold, with vent cut outs, and make both fiberglass or carbon fiber.
I will post more pictures as the process goes on.

$175 from Florida. GT-Racing, AIR and others probably carry something similar.

I think a reproduction of the original would look a thousand times better than the " I have a card board box" on my dash look.
That's one reason that I did so much work on my wide body kit that I made. I hate the look of parts for our cars that look like someone just took cardboard or plywood and cut it to fit and nailed it together.
I would look at making a repro of the factory dash , but I do not have an early model car in my group of cars in storage. Everything we have is 85.5 or newer. If someone is willing to donate a car to the cause..........

You can't have my car, but I have a spare dash I could send you.

I was begging for a complete car! 
But a dash would work I guess

I filled the cracks on mine with structural adhesive, used fiberglass on the back side (the dash was slightly warped) and than used the same structural adhesive to bond on a dash cap. Then I re-colored it.
