Duffman uses resurrection! It's SUPER EFFECTIVE!

So 3 jobs later and I finally make enough to spend some time, and money, on the ol' girl.

Today I worked on getting the dash and HVAC out of the car. The dash will probably be going to California to be stripped and recovered, I'm waiting on quote from Just Dashes. If anyone has used them post up your experience.

The dash:

They say they can redo armrest too so I'm sending them pictures of them as well:

I got the blower motor out, all the HVAC ducting out, and was working on getting the heater core out when I found out a bunch of red wasp had taken up residence in two places on the hood and another inside of the bumper. After a short war, two nest were down, 4 wasp dead, but the one in the bumper remains. I'll deal with that next week.

Cleaned up all the ducting and literally poured sand out of the elbows, I'm sure the blower motor and heater core are probably full of it too. The mounting tabs were brittle and broke off all of the dash vents and the defrost vents as soon at the screw turned, maybe I can glue them back together.

Not much progress I know but it feels good to be working on her again. I'm gonna try to post an update every Saturday
