Hello.
I was wondering if anyone has some instructions for removing a dashboard. I imagine it would be the same for any 914, but mine is a 1970 model. I also need to remove the dash for a '73, which is my donor car. I've searched the internet for some instructions or even a picture that shows me where the bolts are, but I haven't been able to find anything. If you've done it and can give me some pointers and/or pictures, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks HeavyHeavy |

Look in the Classic threads section, there's much detail, with photos.

A good weekend project, but ultimately worth it. |

When you get all the nuts off make sure you double check them ALL before you go any further.There is that one hidden nut that got me (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) and I cracked a good dash. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/chair.gif)

Thanks again.
I'm really impressed at how much this club helps. I think I'll stick around a while. |

Hey Rob.
That was a great How-To article. It helped a lot. I thought you might like to know that I removed my dash last night and your tips probably prevented me from breaking something. I'll use it again this weekend when I remove the dash from the donor vehicle. Have you (or anyone else) had to replace the vinyl that is glued to the dash between the dash top and the windshield? I'll be replacing that too, so if anyone has hints about it, I would appreciate those too. Thanks HeavyHeavy |
