Stripping out interior. What steps, in which order? - 88mph - 22 Dec 2014 Hi. Car should be with me after Christmas. I'll be wanting to remove seats, carpets & some trim for bloody good clean out. And will be wanting to fit new stereo (seller say original is broken) maybe speakers. Fit new window switches & rig up rear fog light switch & wiring. Help, pics, advice very much appreciated. Cheers Re: Stripping out interior. What steps, in which order? - Dan Willis - 22 Dec 2014 If you're lucky, it'll ahve the workshop manual with it. My last two did/have. In any case, you can strip the interior with barely any prior knowledge. I found it very easy. Most screws are exposed and obvious (and those that aren't, are easily Googled). Seats can be a pain if the car has ever grounded - the bolts stick through the floor. Center console is a half dozen screws. Even the gear knob is just screwed on. I'm doing the same job, but further along - I don't intend (or want) to strip the interior if I don't have parts waiting. The more you remove, and for longer, the less you'll remember when putting it back Re: Stripping out interior. What steps, in which order? - Chris P - 22 Dec 2014 Take lots and lots of photo's! Ive lost count of the times we said 'no need to take a picture of that….its obvious! '…..well its not…. 6 weeks of 6 months down the line….its far from obvious! Yes I know this is all engine stuff…but its the same principle. My photo's got us out of clagg dozens of times when we were putting it all together again. Re: Stripping out interior.
