Okay so I finally got around to installing my new 914 rubber reproduced dash. I have to admit I was ready to beat the $hit out of someone but the time I was done. Been quite a while since I removed a dash. The 9 13mm nuts are the worst to get out. I had to remove my radio which normally isn't a problem. The little sleeve it slides into just would not release. A few of the tabs I just couldn't get to. Pretty much destroyed that damn thing taking it out. Not all that big a deal as I want to just install an amp with a blue tooth connection. I never use a radio anymore anyway. The fit of the dash is just a little different than my original. The portion above my gauges where it meets the vinyl under the windshield. Where I notice that the most. I'll get another picture showing it. I took one picture with my new dash in place. At this point I am just glad I am done with the job. Getting those little nut's onto my new dash. Especially the 2 behind the gauges. Those are the worst of them all to feed on there & get tight. At least I won't have to worry about doing it again with my new dash in place right (IMG:style_emoticons/default/evilgrin.gif)

So the end result was just fine but it took me a good 2+ hours of fighting it (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) . Hell I could pull my drive train in a lot less time
