restoring

[HQGTSbrad]

thanks guy's if i find anything else i will post it up. been a bit lazy still have to get the passanger seat out the werst thing is i have had to grind the tops of the bolts to get the seats out
still have to pull the dash out so there still may be something there

i had the same problem in my HQ sedan, the bolts were rusted and stuck, if you put some wd-40 let it sit there for a few weeks, than heat them up with an oxy torch ( if you have one) and hit with a hammer they should eventually become unstuck

Pull glove box out(screws through b pillar and inside glove box). Pull lower dash facia off(scews in b pillar and you will find the others).Undo screws in near the tacho/speedo/steering column. Undo all the other screws in the facia that I cant remember.
Remove facia being careful not to snap it as it clears the column(I think the steering wheel has to come off too). You have to diconect the clock wiring first and then it should come out.
I havnt done this job since the week before AHD last year so I could have missed a couple of things.

don't forget the screw behind the ash tray, if you forget, it will snap and its all over.
