I can understand the cockpit dash being difficult, but the older (pre '91?) dash doesn't look too bad (as it's symetrical) but still a big job no doubt.

conversions might be a big job.........and they charge you for them!

When i went to register my 87 after conversion by John Bondok, the QLD Motor Registry asked to see the DOTARS Vehicle Import Approval (and duely photo-copied it for their records). So an approval is a "must have" in QLD.
When it comes to issuing an approval, DOTARS warn against importing a vehicle BEFORE the approval has been issued by them. I believe that such vehicles have two options, re-export until an approval is issued or crushed for scrap metal.
Conversion cost is also an issue when considering conversion of early C4 dashes vs later cockpit dashes. The flat dash mirror conversion costs about $14,500 vs. about $24,000 for the cockpit.
Regarding complexity, even the flat dash is reasonably complicated process. Pics of my 87 conversion can be found at.... http://www.ozemail.com.au/~daniel42au/

Nobody is touching any vettes after 1988 due to approval documentation costs.Greg Morris who is based in Bankstown off stacy street only converts 84 to 88 corvettes he has a mile of work and is not interested in 89 and up models.He also does one offs of interest he can fill you in on that.He has 30 yrs in vettes he is the best around in depends on what he has to start his work with, junk or condition 1 vette.I have helped out over a few weeks and wouldnt hesitate getting my early c4 converted there Greg conducts a very professional set up and the back up after completion.Like all conversions they take time and I believe Scott takes longer.If you need further details speak to Greg Morris 0418440131
