Started in on gutting my dashboard.

There was a ton of shitty wiring from the stereo the PO installed, and a bunch of ventilation ducts that I no longer needed so I had to pull all of that shit out.

These gauges are all getting replaced but I need to note what wires in the harness go to what.

I'm keeping all of this mounting hardware in case it is useful in mounting my after market gauges. I am 90% sure I'm going with AutoMeter Pro Comps.

Fuse box and mess of wires.

The Spedo and Tach were easy enough, although they do have to be removed from the front of the dash. Just a couple of mechanical attachments and wires, easy peasy. I do plan on keeping my Spedo and Odo but I don't think I'm going to run them. I'm not sure since it is the original odo and everything.

Bent back a series of metal cable routing doohickys and was able to draw the dash harness out from the side.

It will be much easier to install a custom gauge setup in an empty dash.

Not too sure what I'm going to do about this glove box though. I just this minute realized that it is literally made out of cardboard.

Once that was done, I drained my radiator.

| From Z |
I had a shitload of old hoses. Heater hoses with the weave wrap (ick), deteriorated rubber radiator hoses etc.
 |
| From Z |
Four hose clamps and 12mm bolts later the radiator was out and the rubber was in the bushes.

Beast.

just an fyi, snoop around the internet a little bit for the glove compartment. there's a company that made it in plastic so you don't need to replace it every couple of years when the cardboard deteriorates.
