Re: stripping interior and ebay racing seats..questions

My only tip is when you go to remove the center console, take out your radio/HVAC controls and then the pod they sit in before you remove your center console. Other than that, you should have no problems removing your interior.

Oh, and be careful that you don't sit on the seat mount bolts sticking up through the floors! They can cause some hurt...lol. I'm a klutz speaking from personal experience. D'oh.

Good luck and have fun!

Um, no. Doesn't work that way. Trying to remove the radio pod before the console is a good way to break the pod (been there, done that... pod was crap anyways so I didn't care). You remove the console first by undoing all of the bolts on the lower section (there's one on the shifter if an auto), slide it towards the back, remove the park brake hand grip and pull the brake lever up, lift the console up at the back, and slide it out from under the radio pod before lifting it up and completely out.

Re: stripping interior and ebay racing seats..questions

When I did mine,I kept all interior screws in one container and all the nuts and bolts in another.Then I gave them a coat of semi flat before I put them back in.See any surface rust,sand it and coat it,Just really gave it a good cleaning before anything went back in.
