While I wait for some suspention parts to arrive I decided to remove my dash in preparation to restore it too. It's severely cracked but I think I can make it work. And removed few other interior bits. Part of the interior was already stripped before I bought the car. I got most of those parts in my storage.

Awesome!!! Love that you're restoring a 924S, just subscribed and will start watching all your videos!!!
Thank you, Brian! Appreciate it!
can't wait to see more of this!
Thank you for watching!
Incredable job man, don't suppose you have a photo of the back of the fuse box with all the correct wires connected do you? I'm struggling rewiring mine
Thank you! I don't, sorry. My wiring is in a box buried somewhere in my garage with the rest of the parts.
@@RestorationApprentice 😂 that's what I'm tempted to do, nice on defiantly going to follow your channel
I would like to see how you repair the cracks, I have a similar problem with my restoration project but not quite as bad
Hey man, thank you for watching. That will be one of the next few videos. I've already started working on it. what are you working on?
@@RestorationApprentice I've got a 1968 Oldsmobile 442 in a million pieces... the dashboard has one very large crack I wish I could repair without tearing the whole thing apart. The problem is that the gauges are molded into the dashboard in 3 separate holes which would make reskinning it a major pain!
@@bruinflight Wow, that such a cool car! Since my dash is severy cracked I'll fix the cracks but still glue leather vinyl on top. it can be shaped nicely with a heat gun. I might try to replicate the texture when fixing the cracks and painting it so I don't have to put vinyl on top but that might be too tedious to do by hand. We'll see if my sculptury skills comes handy. :)
I am restoring a 1981 924 and I have the same exact looking dashboard as this one the cracks are as bad as yours too. Can’t wait to see how you are able to restore it. Good luck!
one thing you should do now with dash out clean those should be three ground points for electrical other is back just above tail lights..get rid of those gremlins..flickering lights and or head lights popping up wild tach
Thanks for the tip. I'm actually planning to take out the whole harness and clean/restore it but we'll see... kinda intimidated by it. :)
Did you find a replacement dash and interior carpets?
I will probably buy new carpets, there's a company in Germany that makes them. As for the dashboard, I'll try to fix mine... That will be a separate video
