how do you remove the plastics around the gearstick , and the vem/volt/1din plastic rack

i have stripped the instrument panel as much as ive figured out ,
and in doing so noticed that some previus owner has been working with wood,

fine powdered sawdust everywhere and specialy from the vents

would like to get a hold of the plastics so that they can be washed and the vents to be cleaned and if possible the fan unit.

what do i remove and how to reach these parts ?

H.

i mean do i have to remove the whole dash inorder to get to the fan and to remove the 1 din / vem / volt gauge plastic rack , and if how do i remove ?





on top arrow is the din rack and the middle arrow is where the sawdust is
and the lowers is the gear cover ,



dust like that on both sides , i asume its saw dust but who knowes what it is , hehe

H.

Looks to me almost like rusty water..

You sure your heater matrix aint leasking bud, looks like that sort of rusty dark anti freeze...

And yeah the whole dash needs to come out to clean it all properly, i removed all my dash and heater in 40 mins..

where are the bolt/screws for the dash found , i located some in the center below the rack , are there others on the sides ?

and where are the screws for the shift stick cover ?


to be honest i have no idea what that gunk is , it looks like very fine powdered saw dust ,like somethings been sanded , it can very well be rust ,

oh well ,. hehe

Put a screwdriver up between the trim and the lagre cubby in the centre console and push the 4 retaining lugs inwards the large cbby will now come out as will the swtches above it. The small cubby below it can be removed but it has only 2 lugs .
Remove the ashtray and there is a screw underneath it and if your look upwards after the cubbies and switch has been removed you should see the retaining screw there.

looks like a nice car.

zerbot having trouble emailing photos to you so here they are

Includes all trim screws and ashtray which not shown on picture.





and





I dont know what is going on with the email address given


have pm'd prices to you.

regards jim

fantastic

the boot pice i mean is the other the LARGE one that is around that one ,

everything else is right spot on

, you wouldent happen to have a uk passangers side back rest seat cussion lying around with this fabric ?
I just need the backrest cussion ,



i though it might be wiser to find an uk side passangers seat then a driverside over here since the driverside is usualy the one thats most torn,

mines been used as birds nest material , very nice picking holes

there was a couple of more bits i needed , but i m still waiting for callback from the scarpper if the seatbelts are the right ones or not ,

Who tied your shoe laces ? they look like they have been attacked.. lol

Damned shoe fashionistas

These are an old old pair of el cheapo indestructible trainers with welded up knots on the scruffy laces so I just slip them on and off and can scuff the ar** off of them without caring

However for only £100 inc postage these wonderful shoes can be all yours and just think of it you can send one each to two people you dont like or for an incredible bargain buy one at £110 and get the other one completely free

(they say the grunge look is making a come back now! )

Just be glad I am not a naturist !

Zerbot must have gone up country

you have a pm


thought in a spare moment I would look uo what zerbot meant in finnish and came across this idiomatic expression

Kolmannen asteen turbomuna Turbodick of a third degree

superb

its just such an expressive language
havent stopped smiling since

dont you just love the online translators they never get i quite right but you know what they mean

Well those online translators work really bad with finnish. You should see some user manuals that are translated with those

But what in earth have you tried to translate on the first place?

it came from this website that I found one day when browsing the internet looking for linguistic web sites. Its absolutely hilarious if somewhat crude

have pm 'ed you the web address

ignore the eye candy at the side.

Still finnish is a linguistic outlier just the same as basque and hungarian ! Isnt language fascinating:D

Had an argumnt he other day about scandinavians , finns are not scandinavian but a uniquely distinctive grouping.
