Hey everyone!

 

Good news, im healthy again and workiing on cars.

 

In the time ive been away I have had my XF falcon' dash crack... Sad days.

 

Is  there anything I can do to fix this? I thought Id start here because you guys have been so helpful along the resto of this one. (ignore the filth its been like 6 months)

 

Thanks for that and I hope you are all doing really well hey.

you can glue a dash mat on it.. fixed. 

the state of the other trim is pretty rough, sure it's not worth finding another interior or do you have good trim for it?

you can get them redone at huge expense ($800 rings a bell)

i've seen (and i'm likely to do similar on My gemini one) slicing out the high part of the crack so it's a bit lower than the top, mixing up some fibreglass resin and laying it in the crack , then bogging over, sanding and painting the whole thing . 

 

depends on your budget and if you care if it' cracks again(i think it's so brittle now it's likely to crack again anyway unless fully recovered)

Tough part is, those tan interiors (an EA colour) were only used in 88-90 XF commercials.

As most commercials had a hard life, there's not many good parts around anymore.

 

It took me almost 2yrs, to locate a non-cracked tan dash pad for my XF SVO project ute,

costing around $300 from memory!
