    one more item thats important to remove is the window crank handle..The easiest way that works for me is getting a slim flathead..and if you look between the panel and handle, you can see a horse shoe style clip attaching it to the crank. well push down on on end of the horseshoe untill you see it come off the crank and pull it off.

    another good way to get those out is the dentist tooth pokers, smaller than a flathead and curved to make a sharp hook

    dash took me probably 20 minutes.

    1. Take out interior piece below steering column/speaker assembly
    2. Take out glove compartment/speaker assembly
    3. Take out center piece trim and radio/ac unit etc.
    4. Unbolt 2 bolts for steering column, then drop it.
    5. Remove cluster trim/cluster assembly
    6. Remove 3-4 bolts on driver side (you'll see them)
    7. Remove 3-4 bolts on passenger side (you'll see them)
    8. VOILA!!! The dash is no longer bolted, then you gotta wiggle the harness off the dash to make an easier removal.
    9. Yay, dashless car.

    friend of mine had to take his moms car in to get work done on it, so they gave him a loaner for the day. it was some stupid Ford thingy, and when we went to go get some Quizno's, we found out the windows are set up so you have to roll them the opposite of how EVERY OTHER CAR WORKS

    One more reason why Toyota owns Ford. Well, everyone owns Ford.

    you sure did a nice job. my friend attempted to spray the interior of his pintara white and it was only good for first week and den started cracking.
    My advice alman 162 is dunt use those fabric dye and interior spray cans you find at supacheap or autobahn. lolz.

    the steeling wheel was 100 and the boss kit was 80 (prob got ripped off)... i bought one bosskit at the start and it was too short and the wheel hit the indicators and wipers, so i bought a different one which was more expensive but did the job!

    i tried the paint on a few "tester" areas and its working sick! but then again, those bits dont see very much sunlight and are hardly exposed... it seems a bit risky to do. maybe i could vinyl the dash and trim myself...

    or i could just leave it how it is... :p
