Expensive way : Take it to a dash restorer and get it refoamed and reskinned. Cost. Around $400, maybe more depending on condition.

Cheaper way : Go to the wreckers, find one with little or no cracks. Any cracks that are there can be filled with bog and sprayed over. Works ok I guess.

Dodgy way : Buy a dashmat and cover the cracks !

On the cheap:- use a dash mat, if looks and glare on windscreen can be lived with.
Dearest option :- pull out dash and have recovered. I had this done in the past to a TD dash, and whilst they had it I had them fill in indents and side vent markers. Came up flash.
Other option, investigate guys that do car yard touch up work, I've seen them do wonders with door trims
