when I removed my dash I removed all the wiring and stuff for the heater/sterio and logicon and took all of the motors off of the air mix motors, removed the ducting not needed and run my heater off a toggle switch set for heat+defrost only (cant have fogged windows!) my dash was bubbled in a few places to I even peeled the colored portion off. my I removed the wiring harneeses from the doors as well. never got around to removing all the tar tho...

I wish, i am broke and work is cutting hours like crazy.

It will happen someday, but for now, I already have one money pit.
