Let me just tell you prepare to have bloody fingers and a sore back.. Not saying this is extremely difficult but it is a pita.... The most trouble I had with this is the hvac system.. I do not recomend ever doing this if you do not have to.. As you can see I am almost done.. :6:










PARTS BROUGHT TO MY DOOR!!


zaklee clear cover


works shift knob


torque solution shifter bushings

Bye bye hvac and sound deadning that did not do its job.. Brought inside the dash n the hvac to work on it. Removed what was needed to be removed in both items. Took a part the whole dash n cleaned out every vent possible.. Should have this all bolted back in tomorrow! Updated pictures tomorrow :-)

What can I say, Im just in awe with how nice my car is coming together. The interior is light as all hell now. The dash you can literally pick up with two fingers and the best part about this all is my car remains fully functional (just no hvac). I went under the dash got rid of everything I seen wasnt needed but kept stuff in tact incase I want to return this car back.. Everything in the dash was cleaned (dust free) vacuum'd up, zip tied and bolted down so tight there is absolutly no rattles. It just goes to show if you take the time and effort , with care your worksmanship shows.. Enjoy everyone hsnap:

UPDATE APRIL 4, 2011

OFF TO PAINT!!

 

looks sick! Love how its not a full blown bumble bee with black and yellow all over

 

well it needs alot of work yet at the paint shop and i do have cf trunk n hood to add on it, these are all with a crappy cell phone so just work with me for now.. i will have updated pictures after the body shop..

 

looking great! where did u get that center gauge pod piece?

 

Gruppe-S then had it profesionally painted..

 

looks real good

 

Lookin good!

 

looks good, you should weigh all the parts that you removed from under the dash and see what the total weight savings was.

 

Going to weight the entire car soon enough...

 

Diggin the yellow!!! Sub'd

 

thank you everyone

 

very nice

 

thanks...

 

Damn! Your an animal man. Ha. I was eye balling the dash this winter too and wanted to pull it out, but decided aganist it. I can see I made a wise choice, maybe next year.

 

not hard at all.. it was actually a nice project, except for the bloody knuckles. if you take your time do it right you will have no issues..
