Hello everybody, This is my first topic I've started (hope it's not messed up) and It's a question. I'm planning on pulling my dash to paint it, simular to Frotou's and Kristen85's(minus the fur, no offense). Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I have already removed all but the upper dash (where the airbag is located) and the steering column. I know to disconnect power for at least 90 sec before even breathing on the airbag system. I can see some exposed fastners on the dash but I dont know how the airbag is connected, so I don't want to just rip it out of place. I've looked in my Chiltons manual and it doesn't go into that area, so I thought I should ask before I start. This is the last thing I need to do before I start reassembling my gutted interior. Thanks, and love the site I haven't been a member long but I've browsed the site since near the beginning.

It's actually not too much work...I think once the lower dash pieces are off there were only seven 10mm(the two airbag bolts may have been 12mm...can't remember for sure) bolts/nuts that needed to be removed. The hard part is getting the wiring off the back of the dash.
