Removing mk2 dash

[bazzap8389]

Hi, I've started removing the dash, got a few bits off it so far, here is some pics of how it is just now. What do I need to do now to get the rest out? + rep for help!

continue to remove components until the dash is released.

Remove dials
Remove steering wheel
Remove bottom then top steering column cowling (top takes a bit of wrangling to get off)
Unclip the the stalks
If you have a choke, remove the handle and unscrew the collar
Release the fuse box from the dash - iirc it just unclips
Remove the centre console and I think there's a bolt/screw at the base of the dash
Unclip the heater cables from the heater matrix, careful not to break them
Unplug the heated RW plug
Remove the screws on the side of the dash, two each side I think
Remove the two nuts that hold the dash to the bulkhead, there are two - one behind the dials and one behind the glovebox

Dash should then remove. Package it up and send it to me lol

Careful with the heater cables I snapped both mine, it's the lugs on the clips you need to worry about. Take the steering wheel off, more room for tantrums.

Yeah crowbar and hammer for when I loose the plot with the car lol

And thanks drew :)
