Default Dash mayhem......

Taking some wieght out,need some help/advice:

No,really though anyone have any tips to pulling the whole dash out of a 96 formula?

Anyone know of a good place to get a cheap pin-on hood?

Best way to get the insulation off my carpet?

Door bar removal?

Last but not least,how the f*^k do I get rid of this dumb cruise control box thingy that has eaten my throttle cable?

Thanks,
Dale

Best way to get the insulation off my carpet? Pull as much off by hand, then use a large wire brush to get most of whats left over

Door bar removal?

Last but not least,how the f*^k do I get rid of this dumb cruise control box thingy that has eaten my throttle cable?

Thanks,
Dale

As for the cruise control box just unbolt it and remove it with the throttle cable. And the door bar removal just type it in the search bar there are a ton of write-ups for pulling the dash just take your time there are a million tiny screws/bolts in it just takes time.

You shouldnt they are 2 different cables one goes from the pedal to the throttle body and one from the cruise control box to the throttle body. just take one off.

This may sound obscene,but what's wrong with taking a sawz all to the door bars?

Any other spots I can focus on?
