Well shit. Now I know why my 240 keeps falling apart. No gorilla tape.
Don't end me
Haven't seen any used dashes around for ya, Chris. I can try to contact some Datsun guys out in Arizona if you want. They may have one/know someone with a dash pad if the reconstruction doesn't work.

Small update:
I got the body of the console broken down today and the old vinyl stipped off. I'll be cleaning this up a little but overall it's in very good shape. Hopefully it'll be rewrapped tomrrow and reassembled/complete!

LOL thanks!
I stayed up late last night and decided to finish the center console. I think it turned out reallllllly nice! It still have to mount the latch and the trim on the bottom side of the lid, but I want to clean it up and paint it before mounting it.
Here is the lid, that foam was not fun to get off:
Recovered!
Trim Installed, still needs the slider knob:
Again no latch yet:
It's not 100% perfect, but I'm happy with it.
