thats what i am planning on doing unless someone can do it easier and not cost me an arm and a leg. i have an air compressor and airbrush tools but im not sure if what i got is big enuf.(airbrush thing) the air tank is 30gallons btw so i belive that is plenty big enuf.

ive already done some handy work in the back and it looks pretty good.

Well, let me know if you got any questions about painting, I did the whole thing myself, and learned alot from the experience.

oh its not hard to remove the dash.
you have to
take off the front window defroster grill kinda thing.
drop the steering column
take out the gauge cluster..
there is 11 bolts that hold the dash to the car...
then you have to disconnect the wires and it pulls out.

its actually easy taking it out its just putting it back in and connecting everything back up thats the tricky part.

I was stuck on removing that sneaky, well hidden bolt, the one on top of the dash In the center, below the square cap when I swapped out my Interior.

The picture without a dash just makes me realize how much easier it would have been to take out my entire dash when I removed the heater, blower, ac and all that extra stuff under the dash.

thats why i took out the dash so i could gut out all the ac and heater stuff..

i didnt buy the car...(it was free)
but when i got it only the rear interior was taken out. most of the stuff i have done myself.
