Interior swap. Dash questions

[FAiT97GS]

Just bought a 97 gs however my interior is dirty and it is in bad shape so I wanted to do all black and leather. I just bought a parts car to swap the interior. Can anyone point me in the right direction on getting the proper clips. Doors, door panels, headliner, dashboard. How do I take off the dash. Where are the screws located. Any help would be awesome. New to the dsm game. Retired Honda guy so I have some knowledge

Everything else, grab a #2 philips and and 10mm socket and start removing screws and bolts to whatever you're wanting to pull.

I thought you were going to ask what do with the VIN number, when you are changing your dashboard

Try and have an extra set of hands available to help with getting the dash in and out of the car. That made my seap so much easier when I put a black dash in.

The actual dash is actually only held in by like 6 bolts, i didn't find myself needing clips or anything

Oh man, thank you so much for the reminder about the ducting. I'm in the process of gutting my car, and I was focused so much on the dash removal for the heater core and what not, I would have totally spaced out on removing that crap, .

It's in the doors too. My dash went from 32 lbs to 14lbs

Yeah, i'll have a job with the doors. I sprayed some great stuff foam in there when I bought the car and was using it as a DD to stiffen up the doors a bit and give it more of a solid feel rather than the rattle fest it was. Now, I get to dig all that crap out.
