Well,
After 3 rounds with this god forsaken dash, (yes I saw the "how to" thread, but some of us who have never been under an FB dash need the "Paint" arrows on the pics with the bolt, screw locations...) totaling about 3 hours of actual time. I have managed to get my donor dash out for my project 84. Some of you may recall I rescued this particular 84 from the weeds sitting on the ground in some fella's lot. (Duffman can tell ya alll about it, loading it up on a mowing trailer and taking it home...)

QUESTION: What would the best way be to re-install this dash into my 84 Rx7? I was not the first person to try to get the dash out so the instrument cluster, a/c controls etc. were all removed when I got the car. (Thanks in advance)

Well, here have some pics of the progress, and if anyone see's a part they just GOTTA have PM me I may be able to get it to you. Yes I am murdering this car for parts but, it's for a good cause.

Any suggestions out there on any commonly broken items I may want to scrounge off this car before I get rid of the shell? I plan on taking the entire interior, heater core, blower motor, etc. etc., trim and the like.

Picture of the "Helper" shows my feelings exactly on snow... I'm still mad about that 12" of snow Dallas got. I'm still cold...

Wish me luck!

 

Good tail light covers and the piece between are sought after and gettin hard to come by. Also the interior plastics if they aren't sun faded. Consoles are always sought after if not broken. Dizzy is always good to keep as they don't make em anymore and are about 250 for a rebuilt one. Obviously housings and rotors etc. in good shape are keepers. mirrors, armrests, window actuators, steering wheel are all good sellers when in good shape.

Good luck with the dash, they say they are relatively easy, but I'm pulling the one in my wifes to install new carpet, and it's a royal pain in the ***!
