DASH removal HOW???
basically as the title says, how do I remove the dash? I am doing a complete color swap and would like to NOT have a red dash with blue everything else. Later, on my other car I plan on doing a red to black swap. So, I would really like to figure this out without breaking it, since it is in good shape (rest of interior = toasted). Any/all help appreciated. Thanks,
Ian

Iv got 1 bolt holding the dash in and the pick wont come out, Its the 8mm that sits right in behind the top left hand side of the cluster. (right hand drive) I just cant get the bastard, I cant keep the poo brown dash with red interior. Grr. Plus its crackd and buggerd and i dont want to break it more cos its the only 1 i have.

I have a "how-to" dash removal written based on my 80 RX7. Email me off list and I can send you the text file... but do it immediately if interested as I am on the way out of town for a week

I did a how-to on removal for 81-83 dashes. Look at http://milisake.com/dash
Good pictures (I'm biased) and all tools used are listed. Wasn't as bad as I thought it would be but it is a pain in the butt.

things you need:
-case of beer
-some tools. (pretty sure you have everything you need if you work on your seven) make sure you have a small right angle screw driver or you're gonna be cussin up a storm.

OOPS, forgot to mention that it was an 84 dash. Sorry. Is there any huge difference in them? I mean, i understand that they look different, but ARE they different? I will hopefully figure this out today as I have alotted almost the entire day to the "dash removal project". I will take pics of the progress as I go. IF I can get it out without breaking it into pieces it will be for sale. It is a red dash out of an 84 GSL. SO, if anyone is interested hold on and we will see how everything goes and then I will post a thread for it in the for sale section. Wish me luck!!!
