How to remove lower dashboard? Any tips on keeping just the upper?

[len_beach]

I have found and used the guides for removing the upper dash but cant find anything for removing the lower dash.

I want to strip the lower dash from my track car. Any tips on removal and what to keep/relocate etc for refitting of the dash top?

Took mine out when it was all getting resprayed - and because I wanted to remove all the sound deadening behind it

There's 2 little covers at the bottom corners - both sides - inside there are some torx screws
Then there's a whole series of them across the top with earth cables going in them
And a couple in the center piece below heater controls.

If you work your way around slowly and methodically it's not that hard
Make sure you put the screws back into the metal bar at the top with the earth cables under them or none of the electrics work lol
