Early 944/924/924S guys - NEW dash/door panel interest?

[v2rocket_aka944]

Hi all,
I would like to put a feeler post out there to gauge potential interest in having NEW-production dashboards and door panels made for the 1976-1985 924, 1982-1985 944, and 1987-1988 924S cars.

The original dash/door panels are made of pressed fibreboard and are subject to water damage, warping, and just breaking over time.

I am talking with a plastic forming company about having reproduction pieces made out of ABS or other durable plastic.

For ease of production and for "universality" of fitment they would probably be fairly basic - i.e., no switch holes cut out, no center speaker hole. This would allow the end-user to put custom switches on the dash or move stuff around if desired, as well as cater to manual-window cars. Re-covering in vinyl might be doable by the factory here, or the parts can be left blank for your own upholstery/paint desires.

The question is, how much would you be willing to pay for such items? Consider that NOS parts are NLA and if they were still available would be $1000+. Having a standard dash recovered can be a $600-1000 job depending on original dash condition and material choice. Doors are a crapshoot but most I've seen have some sort of water damage on them.

Feel free to reply indicating potential interest, and what a repro dashboard and door panels are worth to you.

There are quite a few companies offering dashboard covers on ebay germany if this is of any interest for you guys.
Obviously not as good as a replacement

I can see a market for the door panels, as they're more sucepptable to water damage and can be a little tough to repair. As for the dash, I can only see it being feasible (at least for me) if it says in the $500 range. And it comes upholstered at that.
