Getting the dash apart has been more of a task than I expected. It needed to come out because the top of the vinyl is coated with mold. Also, there was a burnt and bubbled patch around the headlamp switch.
The heater box was a little hard to remove. I ended up drilling out one of the screws holding it to the body. It’s in good shape, but it needs some paint. And the gasket around the base has fallen apart.
I should be pretty good at this by the time I am finished. Brit Bits in Rye, NH has been very helpful.
