I found this Oz site and sent an enquiry, but received a very curt "Sorry, we don't do any work outside Australia."

Their work looks outstanding - has anyone dealt with these guys before? Can anyone recommend any other sites that restore dashboards to this sort of standard?

Just like in Australia, the sun in SA plays up hell with dashboards, and most of my cars have cracked dashboards.
"You've bought another bloody car?!? We should have you committed!" he shrieked, storming out of the room

Luck you, Grant.

I've twice emailed them and not had the courtesy of any response at all.  ::)

Grant,
im not sure if this is the same place, but there was a dash restorer in QLD, and the former owner actually had a 6.9...if its the same crew, im sure they would do your car if they knew it was a merc.  dad had our 6.9 dash done recently and the job looks good, ill try and find out where he had it done.
hope the racing world is treating u well
regards

These guys are in the US and seem to cater mostly to muscle cars but White Post Restorations endorses them and they're a pretty well-known resto shop in the US for many different makes.  I'd love to get this done but alas, money is flowing out of my wallet to have other items fixed right now...

Whether or not you could use them, I thought the webpage on the process is interesting: Link.

another sad 280s

what sort of money do they charge for a w116, if anyone has had it done

think my dad paid about 3-400 dollars
