1988 Mera Installing PISA Euro dash. Do I need to fit it before upholstry? (Page 1/1)
jrr JUN 19, 10:08 AM
Hello - I have an original 1988 MERA. I have the complete Euro Dash Kit from PISA. They no longer come upholstered. I see many pictures online with the raw fiberglass dash installed. My question is can I send it out to be covered (Vinyl probably) and then install it, or
do I need to fit it in the car before sending it out? Thank you! JRR

You send it out before installing it. That way they can properly wrap the leather/vinyl around the corners and finish the edges correctly. The ONLY concern is that PISA made the pieces exact to fit so you won't have to do any trimming. Once upholstered, you cannot trim the fiberglass to fit without removing the leather/vinyl.

Here's how mine turned out, I spent quite a bit of time getting it ready for upholstery.

Sent you a PM.

My AC would not cool the car, AC air comes out of the side vents only, here's what I did to fix it.

An instrument ground problem showed up several years after I installed, here's my solution.
