Speaking of the interior, I made some progress towards that today and tackled the dash top. I masked off the new paint near the areas to get adhesive. More to come about the paint and adhesive...

First step was to spray the dash and underside of padding with Weldwood Landau adhesive.

Padding in place, with lots of overhang on all sides. I started adhering in the center, and then pulled the paper out gradually on both sides.

Padding all stuck down. Very good adhesion.

And then trimmed all around with a new utility blade.

After that, I got out the liquid Weldwood. I decided to do what the factory did and glue down only the edges of the vinyl.

Test fitting the vinyl. Again, lots of overlap.

I taped the ends to add some gentle tension.

Then I first glued along the inside edge, about 1/2 inch below the raised area (and foam padding). Sorry, no picture.

I brushed adhesive onto the dash and the edge of the vinyl. On the first attempt, I realized the adhesive solvent was lifting the black paint (Rustoleum semi-gloss rattle can). I had to clean that up with acetone, and apply another coat of adhesive.

Once the inner edge was stuck on, I brushed adhesive onto the leading edge of the vinyl and the underside of the dash.

While smoothing and gently stretching, I folded the vinyl over the edge and stuck it to the underside. For the defroster vent inner corners, I duplicated the cuts on the original vinyl (bisecting the corner angles).

Next step on the dash: installing the front plate. I used 3M high strength double-sided auto adhesive tape.

Dash is starting to look like a dash.

I pulled out the original glove box. Its in pretty good shape, including the inner flocking, but has a bit of a bow along the front edge.

I let the fiberboard soak and absorb some water, and then clamped the bowed edge--I hope it dries straight.

I have thought of the thinned penetrating epoxies as a means of repairing fiberboard. They are designed to repair dry rotted wood by soaking in and then setting.

Seems would work on fiber board also. Get Rot is a brand name Among others https://www.amazon.com/Boat-Git-Rot-Penetra...998&sr=8-30

Have planned to use it to repair/re-enforce my back pad when I get around to it. Anyone have any experience with it?

Come on, you have to be more specific--what kind of soup?
