80datson Posted November 4, 2011 Report Share Posted November 4, 2011 Just wondering if anyone has pics of the black dash. Are they hard to find/rare? Quote Link to comment
josh_t Posted November 4, 2011 Report Share Posted November 4, 2011 the pad isnt, ebay usually has them brand new for around 100 bucks and i have seen b210 dashes on ebay recently so hopefully you have the same luck with the 210. Quote Link to comment
king bee66 Posted November 5, 2011 Report Share Posted November 5, 2011 any 210 dash in that nice of condition would be a rare find Quote Link to comment
80datson Posted November 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2011 any 210 dash in that nice of condition would be a rare find thank you sir. the dash pad itself is still original no signs of any cracks its still soft. who ever had it took care of it. they kept a dash cover and seems like its never seen any sunlight at all. same goes for the dash itsself no cracks at all nothing broken off. so this is rare then? i got real luckkyyy! :D im just wondering if the black ones are rare?

josh_t Posted November 6, 2011 Report Share Posted November 6, 2011 well still, most of the wood grain 210 dashes i have seen are faded Quote Link to comment
king bee66 Posted November 6, 2011 Report Share Posted November 6, 2011 what would be the other options? blue, tan? ive seen post-79 dashes that arent black, but never one like yours. Quote Link to comment
80datson Posted November 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2011 what would be the other options? blue, tan? ive seen post-79 dashes that arent black, but never one like yours. I've been getting real lucky on parts I also have the all brown dash. But this black one takes the cake The only concern is that wood grain since ifs a sticker pretty much its startjnf to get crispy but not fadded any suggestions on what I should do?

80datson Posted November 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2011 This is my current dash Quote Link to comment
Datsui Posted November 6, 2011 Report Share Posted November 6, 2011 you could probably make another sticker, cut it all out. Then when you get it right take the sticky back off... and poof new "wood grain" car stickers I'm wondering about recovering the top pad... re-fab or just re-upholster? Quote Link to comment

Lonestar Posted November 7, 2011 Report Share Posted November 7, 2011 I have the very same dash as you 80 but mine came with the black int from factory. Mine is alot like yours, no cracks, save for the woodgrain sticker flaking and the ahold OP cut out the place where the radio wnet and left a nice gapping hole! :angry: I'm thinking of doing either a metal cut out or get a sheet vinly in a wood grain pattern and replacing it. I've been told by Datsunfreak (John), that the woodgrain from factory was rare. Quote Link to comment
Duke_CityR Posted November 8, 2011 Report Share Posted November 8, 2011 Here is what my black one looks like...... the Dash is pretty nice.... just one crack in it on the passenger side. These pictures are from when I was still doing all the body work so everything is super dirty, but you get the idea. ebay sells those glue-on, over dash, pieces that cover up any and all flaws and look like the original cover. I worked with a guy who got one for his 240Z and it looked pretty nice. Kind of off topic, but I was wondering if anyone has ever seen, has pictures of, or knows where I could find a factory tach for the 79? I have been looking for years and haven't ever seen one. I currently just use a small aftermarket one, but have always thought it would be cool to have the factory one. Quote Link to comment
