Our Rally Quattro Gets A Dash Cover

One of our favorite aspects of this build is how many friends in the local car community have helped us with it; so, you can imagine how thrilled we were when we got the opportunity to work with a personal friend on the car. The original works cars used a canvas dash pad/cover held on by snaps that was somewhat unique. Our friend Jean is a dab hand with a sewing machine and we were excited when she agreed to help us make one. We secured the appropriate snaps and period correct canvas and invited her over. We were stunned by the result.
