Dash Repair........Before and After Pictures!!
« on: September 15, 2011, 04:39:41 PM »
This is unbelievable!  


Frank has worked on this dash and it looks FABULOUS!!  So very proud of him.

 

He saved us tons of money on fixing this, and he of course he got the information on how to do this on here!  


Thanks to whoever posted on "how to repair a dash"!  ;D
