I've pulled most of ours apart as some stage.

I don't think I have photos for most though

, what did you need advice on removing?

Centre console and everything at the front (dash etch). Doors are no worries.

thanks!

Centre console is easy, there are two screws in the centre console (pop the lid, you will see them) and there is one screw attached to the bottom of the dash on each side (they will be covered with a black plastic dot thingy) then you carefully lift it out, try not to damage the boot and fuel opener.

Thought there was a screw under the electric window switch :!:

At least there is in the NB8B :shock:

Getting the switch out is a PITA IMHO

failed at removing the dash! just could not get it loose. I got a bunch of other stuff out but I could not be bothered in the end.

Why do you want the dash out anyways?

just strip the carpet, paint it and call it a day.
