the job isnt that hard, i just had to grind 2 spots on the 93 frame and cut out a small plastic square under the dash to make it fit. all the bolts goes in and 2 tie wraps on each side of the dash because of the spots grinded

honestly i didnt take the time to fit the tubing for the round vents on each sides because i will swap BPT this winter and im gonna put guages on the driver's side and I never use front vents even during winter

yes there's alot of dust! :P

another problem is the wiring harness, you have to modify it to plug everything :) spent a night doing this :D

:shock: Holy crap, that's a lot of work! I've never seen the dash on our cars ripped out to that extent! You must have wanted the younger dash style REALLY, REALLY badly to go through that much effort. Nice work, now clean it up. LOL!!! :P
