I thought I wrote this last night.
Patrik in Germany wants me to remove the center console on the 6 conversion he wants to buy from me. Anyone ever do a removal? I never have, and have not even looked. It is always best for me to check here before I descend into the garage and pick up a tool of any kind. I have screwed up too much to rely on nearly geriatric intuition! THANKS! Pics would help too!

pretty straight forward, start by removing your shift knob, then pull up on the leather boot. underneath you will have to disconnect one wire to the light. underneath you should see the harness connections for the gauges, take pictures (or label) all the wires and disconnect them. pull out the gauge cluster piece and you will see where its mounted to the dash.

Thanks, Guys!
I will be removing the seats first, then the console. This is going to be one PITA to get it all packed in. I will take pictures. It will be a not so memorable experience. I have to get an engine, door, console and both seats in to get to the boat. UGLY! J |

engine fits in the front trunk
seats....remove the seat rails and stack them on the passneger seat. Put the rails in the rear trunk. Door...rear trunk or passneger seat. Remove the window pillar...it is alot easier to fit in the car that way. Rich |

Thanks, Rich!
You just confirmed what Steve Gaglione was shown in person by TC Davis a while back. I am going to tell Patrik that the 6 long block will fit in the front trunk, the only concern is putting thick cardboard into the front trunk so it doesn't dent the wheel wells from the inside. That way the interior does not have to come apart, and the webers will fit in the interior. WOOHOO! THANKS!
