Through several trips to the boneyard, a slash on my hand that wouldn't stop bleeding for a long time, and a massive rip in a brand-new pair of trousers... I finally salvaged a HUD-supporting dash for my 04; now that the trial and the errors are over, I can tear down my own dash much faster!

One thing though: what's the best way to remove the glove box without destroying the lid? I didn't really worry about the salvage car's glove box so much; it was pretty manky already. But obviously I'll need to be more delicate with my own!
