WTB Dashboard ashtray for W108
« on: February 27, 2023, 02:48:20 »
My ashtray is great except for the wood.  I have seen a few on eBay that are much worse than mine at unbelievably high prices. Anyone here have one to sell?  If I can’t find a decent one to buy, I will have a go at refinishing this one.

You have already got the part. Refenishing would ensure the grain match with the rest, whereas if you get another it becomes iffy.

Thanks, you are right.  Matching color and grain is probably going to be difficult regardless.
