Hey all, i got a minitruck of rodeo crewcab bloodline, and its interior is, well, F%^ing ugly.
I need to have the dash redone somehow, do you know who does this well? how much it would roughly cost?
anyone had this done or know someone who has???
cheers for any help

From memory it was <$500 or so... will see if I can find out more for you.

definately!!! i'd be keen to find out what could be done.....
do i still get silviansw discounts on stuff even though i no longer own the mighty s13???
do you think i could get the dash setup from the newer rodeos to fit ??
i'm not after a simple recovering, unless this can make it schmick, more a reshaping of it....
i was thinking of getting a brant alarm install as it has nadda at the mo... thats why i want the discount... :)

I am sure you could sort something out with brant :) Just mentioned your a member of the club but you dont have your s13 anymore.

As for the dash, thats fora re-skin... A reshape... hmmm.. further investigation necessary.

hey utenvy,
the truck comes into my posession in a few days, i am having some minor panel work completed (sent to shop straight after i bought it) so its arrow straight before i get it into the garage....
The outside is looking awesome, now my main concerns are the interior and the engine. the interior is the one i have to deal with the most at the mo as it is bloody awful, it is mostly stock inside apart from the billet wheel and the billet aircon vent kit.... which looks shit anyway. So i am trying to sort out quotes on getting the dash removed/ reshaped or get a newer model rodeo interior....
got any suggestions?
the silvia had a neat interior so i never had to look into this before.... i'd be keen to see how your interior goes though!
i have been occasionaly checking out your site, does it get updated often?

On my S13, above the stock gauges, I have cracks on my dash, probably from sun damage. Does anyone know if auto re-trimmers are able to fix this? And if so, does anyone know how much?

yeah they can fix that no worries, for costs call around a few places, it won't be too bad if its a localised area of the dash....

well, if youre talking about getting it re-skinned as in, a new layer of vinyl in your colour choice, i had a friend of a friend offer to do it for 200 so ill see if that offers still going, cant promise anything tho.
I expect it would cost about 500 for non-mates rates.

has bobs truck got a stezza in it (im assuming you bought it off bob?)
did he close down? :(

everything on the top half of mine will be white & bottom half will be black.
although when you see it on the road it will be all done except seats will be grey and roof will be beige. (assuming i can get the doors trimmed :-? )

yer bob sold his truck, he isn't giving it up though, he just wants to start something new i think... :)
it has a 6stacker and a nice head unit, but shitty speakers... i wanna put in a decent stezza but cant figure out where to put the majority of it!!

the flatbed is just the style i like.
im gonna make up some roll bars at some stage which will really set it off and i plan to buy a go kart and start racing next year which will fit nicely on the back.
im off home now, work sux!

Thanks for that snipes and utenvy :D

And utenvy, don't try too hard but if you can score me a deal for around 200 to re-vinyl the dash that would be most appreciated. If not, no worries, I'll just get the cracks fixed up and look at doing my interior up when I've done my engine and exterior :D

Cheers Guys.
