Dash Removal

Before starting to remove the entire dash which would stop me running the engine for a while, took one last go at running it and circulating oil etc and getting up to temperature and enjoy the real TVR burble.

That done so time to take a closer look at the mess behind the dash.  Did I mention some wires seem not connecting to anything?


The dashboard itself is just fixed in place by sliding into some slots in the dash base.  So all you really need to do is carefully remove all the meters/dials and lamps.  Just take plenty of photos and label the wires.  The lamps are "special".  You can remove the wires, but to remove the lamps you will need a soldering iron, so in my case, leave til later.

Finally the dash is out and can take a really good look at the condition.  I think the meters were holding alot of the veneer in place it is so bad.

She's now looking a little sad and will get sadder before getting better.
