This is the before shot. The dash top has a plastic cap.

This is a shot of the instrument cluster

Here's the plastic cap removed.

This shows the original dash cap after the plastic cap has been removed.

Here's a close up of the original cap. You'll notice the silicone that was used to hold the plastic cap in place.

The first thing I remove, after the plastic cap was the steering wheel. This also shows the original instrument cluster. You'll notice the faded black instrument cluster surround.

Next, I removed the lower dash pad.

Next I removed the dash cap. Please refer to Project #1, dated 12/03/2004, remove dash top, for the steps to remove the dash cap. Note that you'll need to remove at lease one of the A-pillar cap. Also, remove the ash tray.

Next I removed the instrument cluster.

After carefully diagramming the wire connections, I removed the older instrument cluster. Then I installed the new dash top and the new instrument cluster.

Here's a medium shot of the instrument cluster and the dash cap.

Here's a close up of the isntrument cluster.

Here's a side shot of the 914. This highlights the roll bar vinyl and the fuch wheels.

I replaced the painted bumpers with chrome ones and installed fibre-glass bumper cap replicas.

This is a close up of the changes.
