As you can see the entire underside of the dash had
a layer of surface rust. As mentioned before some
of the rust (as in the drivers inner cowl) was
excessive enough for a complete removal. The
exciting news is that most of the surface rust would
disappear after I send it to the blasters. At this
point all of the dash components and wiring have been
removed.
Pulling the wiring out was easy. Lets just hope
I remember where everything goes. I'm installing
a factory tachometer so I believer there will be some
alteration to the factory harness. More to come.
Stubborn screws loosened with penetrating oil
then removed with a ratchet and phillips bit in
order to get maximum torque.
Fancy that! Leaves and debris in the cowl vent?
Unfortunately for me the drivers cowl leaked
badly and rotted the inner cowl as well as the
firewall and front floor pan. Oh well :(
Working under the dash to remove all the small
nuts and bolts was a daunting task. I don't
have the smallest hands and I fear that re assembly
will be a nightmare. So what did I do? Lots
of pictures and white masking tape labeling
anything and everything that I could.
While disassembling the interior I found
this tag under the drivers seat. Anyone
know what it is?
