GTS dash repairs part 2

**Absinth** · 20-04-2011, 07:48 PM

This is the column auto HZ dash I have Greg, there are a couple of holes I will need to patch so I'll post up pics when I've done them and see what you think.

I'll have to weld some new mounting lugs on the bottom to fix the broken ones

fix the two screw holes under the RTS bump

Repair the cut out in the wiper dwell recess and the hole next to it

I had a piece cut from another GTS fascia to fill in the auto selector hole but will use it if I get another one

This was a donor fascia, pity as it would have been a nice restorer if it wasn't broken on the left side and the piece missing.

Sean I have got onto a few guys interested in doing the lenses. So see how we go....

Have you thought about repairing the under dash pannels to suit A/C cars? I have a NOS one here. BUT in my move i broke it. I would be interested in getting you to fix it at some stage. weld it on the back and the crack will never be seen as its in a corner. bit of a shame as it did cost me some $$$$$

I can repair it for you Jason, just make sure you pack it well so it doesn't get any more broken... let me know when you're ready.

Too easy mate will do. I was shattered! It was packed well I thought with the move. Something must have fell on it.

No rush needed on it as Its for my GTS and thats about 5 years off needing it haha. Will give it to you in person one day no doubt.

I'll get my HJ one to you too. I wonder if you can fix the HZ Premier GTS one I now have too, by cutting off the bottom whole corner containing the radio coutout and welding in a same piece off a normal HZ Premier fascia. I'm pretty sure I have a normal HZ Premier fascia somewhere with a perfect left lower quarter.

I also came across a perfect HQ console the other day with a small piece broken off. It may be worth repairing too. I'd also have a dozen HJ-HZ consoles around and at least that many HK-HG also, a few of each need minor repairs. Will dig them all out one day and have a look.

I'll give anything a go Byron, playing with repairing a HJ console at the moment.

You can't use the whole radio panel from a Premier because it doesn't have the fake allen key holes in it like the GTS fascias unfortunately.

I could neatly cut a section out of a Premier fascia and make it a tight fit from the front and welding only from the back so there would only be a hair line visible.... the only problem I can see with that though would be matching the grain.... unless they all have the same pattern?
