Hi everyone, I got my car last week, and can't get my plates until next month so I'm just started the inside work. I already painted my door, metalic black with lots of flake, looks nice in the sun. Now im trying to do the rest, so, how do I remove the gauge cluster? the radio trim and all that centre consol and such? I searched on this site and found 4 posts asking the same questions, lots of views but 0 replys, so please please please someone can tell me where all the screws are with pic please, that would mean so much to me and lots other, thank you in advance

I did my indiglos a loooong time ago, but I will attempt to remember.

I removed some bolts from the underside of my steering column. This allows it to drop a little bit, exposing some screws that you need to remove to get the gauges out.

That is about all I can say, the rest isn't too hard, just don't lose any screws, or the bolts!

I'm sure that someone else has more detailed information...

The guage cluster is easy to get out.

1. remove 2 screws from under side of the steering column cover, take the top cover off.
2. remove 2 screws that are hidden behind the cover you just took off.
3. remove 2 screws that go thought the top of the guage cover
4. remove cover & unplug the wire harnesses for the hazards & cruise control


For the other parts start in the back & work forward.

1. take out 4 screws (2 on each side) of center consol & remove it
2. take out ash tray
3. remove 2 screws under the ashtray & 1 screw on each side of the consol towards the front of the car
4. unscrew shifter knob, (unless it's an auto then I don't know) then remove it
5. radio trim is held in by clips so just find a place to grab a pull


Good Luck!!! It's easy once you see where the bolts are at.

Thanks you guys so much, can't wait until the weekend so I can start painting again. Its going to be a long winter so my inside will look to my taste once summer comes around so I can put a new engine in. Thanks again
