A quick play about.

Well I had taken Friday 30th November off work to get things ready for the Girlfriend's birthday weekend away. But due to the body clock being broken, I didn't have much of a lie in and instead got up a few hours earlier than planned and decided to use it to work on the car.
In the morning I managed to remove the rear bulkhead, it took a bit of trouble but came off....in two pieces. turns out it wasn't in as good a condition as it looked. Not to worry, it's out the way now.



The dashboard is slowly coming off with the steering wheel and speedo instrument cluster out. The crash pads were rather tricky being stuck on with some Japanese silicon super glue, but nothing a flathead screw driver couldn't remove!


The headlights are out along with their surround as well as the front number plate and side light clusters. Just waiting on some axle stands and trolley jacks to get underneath the car the get some more body work off the car.  
This is where the steering wheel and instrument cluster used to be. Came out much easier with the crash pads off! Now a bit more space to see underneath the into the steering column.


Next step is to figure out how to get the rest of the dashboard off without severing electics and other valuable items!
