Hey guys sorry its been so long - got caught up in uni n work n now Luke is deployed til late August 2013.

Does someone have an engine hoist i can borrow? i want to take the engine and all associated running gear out of the wags - BTW anyone that feels like lending me a hand would be more than welcome to come over..beers will be cold in the fridge n for the non beer drinkers, bourbon n scotch will b available too

once that stuff is out its down to removing the rest of the panels n stripping the paint
and then onto the nitty-gritty of body work..need to hurry n get alot done now as our daughter gets her L's in 5yrs n wants a project to help work on so that within 6yrs her first car is ready n she wants a datto.i told her she can have a ute with a lockable hard cover that we hold the keys for as i dont trust teenage boys.....she looked at me like WTF?
lol

yea once the dash is out completely n all associated stuff will then just need to rip up wats left of the rubber flooring n take out the kick panels! then the interior will b almost 100% gutted!

You said you removed the 3 screws on top so i assume your trying to take out the whole dash. In which case you dont need to take the dash loom out it only needs to be disconnected where it comes through the fire wall above the accelerator pedal.

oh and yes ventians are part of the vision for the wags!! and also a sun visor thingy for the windscreen

um no i dont think i disconnected the loom....how do i do that??? i am going to attempt it tomorrow even tho luke be at work.....btw who cares if something is hard for luke to work on.my car not his he'll do what he's told to do with MY car...IF i let him get a project car one day then things mite be different lol but i doubt it!!!

what movie was it?

go roof racks fender mirrors (even though luke will hate working on the car with them on as they get in the way even checking the oil dip stick) and venitians....

color. white with wood grain vynal decals.. fake woody for the family lol.

good work. i never had dramas getting the dash out. did you disconnect the loom at the back and all along the clips under the top? i forgot the first time i tried.

also i am trying to decide which i should go with ..........................door mirrors or fender mirrors.......what do u guys think. i think the fender mirrors would look cool..............since i have Sunny Roof Racks i am going to be installing as well

think so!!

right now i am having a break n making the kids lunch coz was getting #OOPS#ty
so will face it again in bout an hour with a clear head!!

so far, all seats are out, the bonnet is off, the scuff plates are off, the battery is gone, front n rear bumpers are off, seat belts are out, preparing to rip the floor cover out - have already vacuumed all the crap out - found about $2 in coins so far, found a torch that just needs new batteries n should work fine, and some pens, and a butter knife, old movie tickets hair elastics, lollipop sticks this car was basically used as a rubbish bin the poor girl is now in good hands though!!

Did you get the 10mm bolts out either side above the kick panels ?

Hi everyone, i know its b een a long time but been flat out with uni.....yay...anyway i am trying to take the dash out, right now, and i have the 3 screws from on top near the window already out n a bunch of stuff from under the dash...luke sid something about an earth wire n i cant find it n i am trying to figure out why i cant get the dash out now since to my knowledge - which isnt that extensive - i have everything that needs to be unscrewed , unscrewed.


if anyone is in the Hills District area today or tomorrow send me a pm if ur free and u can give me a hand as i am currently P.O that its still not coming out
