Re: Bondo for my dash ?
fiberglass the broke parts together. Sand it down. then use body filler to fill in the imperfections.

Make sure you use plasticised filler (bondo) or it'll crack out! It's best to tkae it out! Or get a dash from the junkyard!

Holy crap they must gold plate everything first for that money! Go to a u-pick and remove it yourself they are always cheaper!

yeah Ill try, but first I need to save money for some rims
It will take long though since I have to pay a ticket with the money that I was saving.
This mourning the cops gave me a $75.00 ticket for loud music. Unbelievable...

Re: Bondo for my dash ?
personally... buy a set of used rims. The ones i have i found for 300 bucks and are mint. Just make sure they are 5X100 and 38-44mm offset. 40-42mm is prime! I know someone selling a set of 19 ADR fuels for 950. If i had the money i'd be all over those. Rims are fairly cheep, its just the tires which kill you. Its up to you thought. Check the classifieds on www.j-body.org
