im removing my dash in the next fue days.. ill go a decent one for you people.

The hardest screw to find is the one that holds the section containing the light dimmer control. Its right up the back and an absolute prick to get at!

Takes 10 minutes to get out.. I've lost all my screws though, well, my panel beater stole them thinking they'd come in handy and never gave them back.

i gotta say i did everything vldude'03 said and it was a breeze i really think its a great guide but if anyone wants to do it look out for that little screw in the glovebox that houlds most of the dash together

Nice one vl dude... used the guide a little the other day to remove and then paint the dash... nice article.. Cheers Shaun

if any one has pics i reckon visuals make the job easyer

i wish i had this thread a few days ago....... ive broken my dash in all sorts of places, top left hand corner of the thin bit as the other dude said, half of it is loose, far out lol has ne1 ever covered their dash in vinyl? i wouldnt mind it.....

thankz buddy for this ..perfect timing im was gunna take mine out this weekend FRAGA Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

This thread is great! Helped heaps when I took out my dash for paint. I didn't no were to start. Haha

wish i had this when i pulled mine out, just had mine all done in pleather looks pretty good with all the stitching fancy, so i take it to put it back in i just go off this plan backwards to put it back in or has any one got a easier way of explaining?

Dash uses a few types. Black medium phillips head (most common) Black large phillips head (far less common; holds lower dash to the tabs welded to the body above the ECU and the opposite side) 10mm/phillips head (holds instrument cluster and dash pad to the body) Doubt you'll be able to get them new from SCA or Holden. Hit a wreckers up for the 5 finger discount.

what about removing the heater core box, blower motor and associated compenents

got mine out... was a lil tricky. didnt break anything. now just gotta get it covered and rest of my interior done.. hoping to be ready by Summernats 24

omg. sooo hard. haha
