Default Dashboard Removal

hey guys, wondering how much work involved in removing dash from series 2? Anyone give me a quick guide how to do it? Getting battery tray welded in so removing for easy access to weld underneath, thanks in advance.

Not to hard a job. just take your time.


2 ontop near windscreen.
2 screws on each side of dash
remove steering wheel
remove dials/speedo
think there is 2 screws near the heater matix.
remove centre vents, screw behind the knobs. disconnect cable.

its a doddle! kinda figure out as you go along its that easy! i have just put mine back in after doing the same job! think all i needed was a t-25 if memory serves and or a t-20 plus a decent philips! only bit i struggled with apart from the steering wheel being stuck was the plug on the back of the fader/balance switch but once i got the dash out i realised where i was going wrong and the refitting took about quarter of the time for removal!
