Great job Sreejesh.The final outcome looks just like its a new one that no one will realize that the dashboard was reconditioned.

Thank you ramankanythia, jarpickle!
Now became more confident in dealing with fiberglass. So happy that it came out well and you guys all know the pleasure of fixing things or making something self!

Dear sreejeshtpl,

Great DIY there and I just love that sand paint job - just imagine a garage with this MM540 and a Desert Storm!

Could you please share total cost of repairing the dash and the time taken?

Looking forwards to your next DIY.

Regards,
Sam

Fantastic work Sreejesh, Your work is still holding good after ONE LONG YEAR! This is the proof of your passion. Most of the time DIY's look great in the beginning and later they either fail or get neglected. Your DIY work is amazing even after a year!

Do we get those items in Bangalore? If yes, please share the cost and address etc

Thanks a lot for the info. Can this thing be used to make small car interior parts like extensions for Center console etc?
