FJ60 Dash restore (1 Viewer)

[thewall151]

My dash cap is starting to crack after 10 years. Anyone ever have their original dash professionally restored in the town they live in? I am sure the hardest part of the restore is the speaker area that always seems to be cracked. I have Grey interior and would not mind to spend the money to have my original dash show again.

Thank you !!

Just Dashes quoted me $1200 for my 60. Thought about it for 30 seconds then bought another $100 dash cap.

Isn’t the gray dash still available?

I don't think any 60 dashes are available, just the grey 62 dash pad

Ah maybe that’s what I was thinking.

Thanks, I was going to ask them about it, you saved me the effort.

@NCFJ restored the dash on the 60 project he is working on maybe he can share some info on it.

I started with this

I sanded the hell out of it with a DA starting with 80 grit down to 220. I then cleaned up the back side and epoxied everything that was loose and then some on the back, back to the metal frame. Lots of stinky chemicals to get it all clean and glued back together.

The next steps were to fill in all the missing foam areas, sand flat again and then glass the entire dash with extra over areas with missing filler.

All sanded, primed and sprayed with SEM texture

Painted with SEM and installed

Note: If you are going to do this, pay special attention to the AC vents as they are a tight fit.

I took my dash cap off today. I got rid all the old silicon glue exposing my original dash so bad and cracked everywhere and the speaker hole got bigger when I pulled off the cover. I purchased a cap from cruiser corps. That one looks the closest to stock.

This is mine. I patched the cracks, and smoothed it out then I had it sprayed with line-X with a light texture. Finally, I painted it with the SEM Cordovan Brown interior paint.

What did you use for filler?

My dash cap is starting to crack after 10 years.

If you originally purchased the dash cap, some of those have a lifetime warranty. I had my FJ40 cap replaced for free after it warped badly along the front edge.

Mine broke in brittle pieces when I removed it.

I used this stuff
