The final straw on the Sport... Reply #17 – March 04, 2008, 12:14:54 PM My first dash was the 82 Cougar Wagon. The dash was on the seats in 45 minutes. Since the A/C was under no pressure I took the whole HVAC out to replace the heater core. Another 30 minutes. I wanted to clean it as well so I went the extra step. Two ink pens, three packets of petrified katsup, one mustard, some bugs and a kleenex. I also wanted to pressure check the evaporator core.All back together in an hour and a half.I didn't disconnect any wiring at all. It was long enough for it to lay down on the seat. It was a lot easier than I thought it was going to be. I did get the metal support in front of the glove box in upside down though but it was pretty easy to reverse even after I had the dash back in place.I don't look forward to doing it again but the hole in the firewall thing is actually a good idea....if only the follow through was done, which it was not. Talk about lazy.I would never have thought about doing that!:D Quote Selected
The final straw on the Sport... Reply #18 – March 04, 2008, 04:56:01 PM Stupid me, I had the whole dash out of my car (to replace a cracked dash) and didn't replace the heater core while it was out. The 20 year old heater core. It's almost a certainty that mine will start leaking now :hick:As for the guy that said he'd brand the car unroadworthy - unless he could show me in the book where modifying the firewall was illegal I'd have his license. It's a hack job, sure, but it does nothing to make the car unroadworthy... Quote Selected
The final straw on the Sport... Reply #19 – March 04, 2008, 05:22:53 PM Oregon titled car, they have all sorts of stoopid flaming hoops to jump through. That's why I bought my 'Vic through a WA licensed broker and got lucky on the RX-7 (over 20 years old). Basically it would have come out with a branded title (totaled/rebuilt) at best. All paperwork basically. Quote Selected
