Wow the price of that dash is insane. Absolutly insane. To think I cheated myself out of some money when I sold one to a fellow MLU'er for $40 or so. But what I didn't make in profits I was quite content to know that I had helped out another here on the forum. Thanks Geoff for keeping this forum, the sense of community it fosters is fantastic.

OK, that's it. I'm breaking my carrier up and selling it for parts.

Default dashed...

My hopes of fitting a genuine original dash panel to my carrier seem to be rapidly fading. For the prices being asked I think I will buy some steel sheet, and the required tools and equipment, make myself a rough replica and still have enough change to go down to the pub for dinner...!

Cheers

Phill

Phill, next time I come across a Mk1 Dash, its yours. The price will also be way better then what some idiots are willing to pay on ebay.

I'd much rather see another MLU'er helped out then use the so-called "free market" to gouge people out of their money.

Hi,
To think I have given three dashes away for free in my time, I have a Mk2 dash like that one, a little bit more rusty but I might try me luck on ebay and spend a couple of all inclusive weeks in spain on the proceeds.
