BB6 Dash swap

[wherm]

Any new updates? its spring time.

Got the car out of storage today! Over the course of last summer, any suede that was glued on over vinyl was starting to lift so we're re-doing those areas. I pulled my rear trim panels out today and peeled the suede and vinyl off of the top piece. I re-wrapped it in suede and glued the gray insert back into place. That glue holds very well to just about anything except vinyl. Now that the vinyl was removed we shouldn't have anymore issues with lifting .

I should have the other one done this week too. After that, we will redo the door panels. He's gonna be stitching the armrest covers soon and once those are done I can finally reassemble the door panels for good.

All in all, it's coming along fine and I should have new pics up soon.

WOW!! I thought this was just a BB6 cluster swap. Then I started thinking, "wait, our center dashes don't look like that...."

This is amazing! Probably the wildest thing I've seen since a K24 crammed into an EM2.

Update

Both door panels are re-wrapped now, all I have to do is fiberglass the gray inserts back in. After that, my friend has to stitch up the arm rest covers and and I'll have more pics to upload.

Here's a quick shot of the passenger door panel with the new vinyl foam applied to it. This stuff is awesome, and best of all, the glue holds very well.

You're basically making the entire interior into a BB6, aren't you?

just the dash and center console. I think they look much sportier, and the console is definately more functional.

That was really great, man. One of the best jobs I've seen.

I would, but it should be done in a week or two. I'll have pics up right away when it is. My friend should be stitching up the armrest covers in the next week.
