Re: How I fixed my cracked dash in my 82 Rolla Wagon
Crazy, this is my post! From way back on old 3TC garage.
Anyway, bad news is guys the fix didn't last. The flexible bondo and dash expand/contract at different rates, along with fact that the old foam continued to crack in spots. It did look great for about a year, then got a couple cracks a year since.
BOBLOOK, any chance you have my old build thread archived too? Called "3TC Wagon with Fresh New Look" or something? Anyway, I need to make another for the EcoTec swap I did a couple years back.
Thanks,

Re: How I fixed my cracked dash in my 82 Rolla Wagon
Just wanted to post an update. I ended up having a local shop, Alameda Auto Upholstery (510) 523-7551, recover my dash and I'm really happy with it! Even filled in the useless "tray" on the passenger side. Been holding up great for about 6 months so far.

Yup, that's a chalk bag cup holder...
