dashboard veneered panels

[keith rhodes]

Hi all.

HNY -lets hope its going to be better than 2020

can anyone help me with a contact for refinishing the dashboard veneer panels.

I've heard from Pete that there is someone who does this work

I'm in the process of refurbishing mine DIY method.
I got a really bad set from Lotus Bit's, which after soaking in water, was able to remove veneer and bond back onto a flat sheet of MDF. Although more work, I used this route so I knew I had the right wood.
Jobs not finished yet, but so far looking good. I also got some veneer off Internet of a couple of different wood matches.
Early days, but may well end up with a good set spare before the winters out. Watch this space.

Lotusbits, Classic dash or Brian Swankie.

There was a guy on Facebook offering them too.

Hi
I spoke with Ged at gdk yesterday, seemed helpful enough, looked at the photos I sent him and he confirmed what I had reckoned; veneer is too far gone so start over.
He's quoted me £250. Sounds a lot for two small panels though.

I will see what classic dash suggest in the week.

Anyone done this with either company?? what cost, what quality ??
