Dash frame

[I am Groot]

Hi Guys, cars in the body shop for painting but hit a problem when the screen was taken out as waters been getting in for years and corroden the dash frame. Can clean up, paint and repair but then will need to replace the foam and vinyl. Just wondered if there is a good dash frame out there? Cant find one on the net.
Anyone had this experiance ?

If the metalwork can be salvaged maybe a trimmer could repair the foam and recover in leather? No idea of the costs though!

Thanks, yes its the cost to sort but i might trim it myself if they blast it and paint it. They might need to weld it thats why i thought find a new frame. How difficult was it to trim with this leather kit? Does look good?

im no trimmer but I managed. I cut the vinyl from wher the wood goes otherwise it’s too tight to refit the woodwork. Took my time and used time bond glue to enable me to peel it back off to reposition. Get some of those cheap plastic clamps from B and Q to hold in place.
