We repair the badly cracked dash pad for our RA24 1977 Toyota Celica GT coupe, using the plastic welding technique and then we bond a plastic dash pad cap over top of it to give it a finished look that should be extremely durable and match the rest of the interior plastics.

Out of all my channels I watch this video is one of my favorites!! Very detailed and you make it seemed so easy!! Well worth the $1200 savings doing it yourself!
I think you should go for carbon fiber on this dash
That is unusual to see a dash pad in that bad of condition for Canada, down in the southern states you see that all the time because of the high heat and UV exposure. On my 89 Supra when my dad purchased it 6 years ago the dash pad was in real bad shape, he found one in Organ at a salvage yard for $180 US and about $90 us for shipping.
Plz can u stl talking and can u get on with what your doing
you look like binging with babish if he was into cars
This is good honest work.
Blabla watched half the video and nothing has happened
Thanks for this. Gotta do the same on my 78 corolla coupe. So far I've just put a carpet mat over the crack.
Nice that i found this! I have 2 Celicas, a 89 and 03. And i have a 81 1.8 wagon
I have been watching the Celica build, its really good. I have used some of your suggestions for mine. I'm doing an 84 Celica coupe. I'm going to use the same ECU and Harness. Keep it up guys cant wait to see it finished.
Here's mine: https://youtu.be/owSaHgyol6M
Nice shirt! From my homies at ShaDynasty
I remember back in the day when nothing but Puerto Ricans drove these cars and hook them up back in the days now you only see a couple of them around tucked away and them Puerto Ricans are not giving them up for nothing lol. But now everybody wants to own them and tune them up we've been doing this jdm tuning cars for years lol
Inspired me to pull my dash cap off and fix it the right way thanks!
I remember the instructions of those dash covers say not to go overboard on adhesive. It needs to be able to flex.
STOP SAYING "selEEE-ka"!!!!!
They make 2 part epoxy foam now. A lot stronger and more flexible
would love to see what you could do to make a track ready less desirable late 80's car….. see if you can make it cool
3:23 what video is that from?
fantastic idea and i just bought a plastic weld kit
thank you for the awesome video
Calling us guys gentlemen is a bit of an assumption
I wonder if this will work on s13 crack dash? Has anyone tried this before on there s13?
Your editing, memes, fooling around and dancing are the best! Every SA video should be like this one! Lol!
W H E R E I S T H E M 3 ?!? Waiting …
some nice asbestos youre breathing there friend
Shout out to Devin at Uneek Upholstery, he reupholstered my cafe racer seat and did an exceptional job!
Hey Dave nice work
Something interesting for you to look at. CT's garage about 35 seconds in on his vapour blasting episode.
I herd this and was like hmm I know that sound
Wonder if the dash fits back in the car now ??
Dave's editing in those little clips never disappoints.
I saw a photo recently a photo of a cast iron engine block that was painted in VHT engine enamel and the colour was "cast iron silver". it looked really good, check it out.
Awesome job man, looks like new and you saved 1200! More money for other parts and tequila! Cheers!
