Where can I get an '87 350i dash?

[Matty Boy]

Hi guys,

Any ideas on where I can get an '87 350i dash? Anyone got one? Seen one? Made one?

Cheers,

Matt

I know, I know! Missed the boat with Blaine's.............bugger!

If you find me a 400SE dash you can have my 87 dash!

Is that a serious offer Jim? I'm desperate for one pal...........a dashboard that is!

In that case, can I have a SEAC-style dash (with the large 'flat' centre panel)...

Hi Matty Boy,

Indeed it was serious. My 1987 dash no longer has working face vents due to my heater mods, which the 400SE dash would be fine with. The SEAC dash has only got room for four instruments, and is a bit of a tight fit with the indicator stalk. Yes, I had an advert in the classifieds offereing cash for a 400SE dash, but nothing came of it.

Matty boy, you'll have to wait a bit, as I am currently in the process of rebuilding rear suspension, and now there is a fuel leak, and the starter motor has decided to pack in -AGAIN- . So it might be January time before I can do the transplant. Also the dash is a FHC one, so I don't know if this would be a problem - I suspect not, but you never know with TVR.

Hi Jim,

Just a couple of questions if I may - firstly, is it wood? Secondly, does the dash have a circular cut out for the clock, not square?

I'm fine with waiting until the end of Jan mate, how much would you want for it?

Cheers,

Matt

Ah, Square clock I'm afraid, and the veneer is looking very sad. Black leather cover is in very good shape though.
Not really for sale, only for swap, as I want a 400SE dash!
