Since I am not able to remove my dash it has been one hell of a headache getting at this stuff but after tugging, yanking, dremeling etc. I finally got the entire heater core and all but one section of vent ducting out from under the dash without pulling the dash out.

I don't know how people can say thereisnt much weight back behind there. The pile of crap that came out of the car is HUGE and there is still a bit more left. I am guessing at least 30lbs so far. don't have a scale so I cant be precise. There is also a thick, heavy rubber mat that has to come out that looks like by itself could weigh in the 20lb area. I am going to try to keep all of this stuff in one box so I can weight it when it all comes out.

The only things left are 1) figuring out how to drop the air bag from underneath. 2) get all the radio wiring out of the car and speakers out from behind sheet metal door panels. 3) Trim the engine wiring harness to get rid of alot of the wiring that no longer has parts to go to.

I remember reading someone drooped thier airbag from underneath. How in the hell did you do that? Mine appears to have an immovable steel bar that keeps the airbag carrier from dropping out the bottom. I REALLY don't want to get after it with a dremel but if I have to......

I might be thinking of a different rubber matting. That sounds like your talking about the paste looking crap that is all over all of the body seems of the interior.

the stuff I am talking about is all of the rubber matting that appears to be nothing more than sound deadening material behind the dash. there is even more of it directlyon the underside of the dash. Almost a different material material, but all dead weight to me.

The last time I had the car scaled it came in at 3717 wet w/ driver. Now that i have a 10 bolt back under it and have been picking away at stuff, who knows what it is at. My cage is one heavy SOB though, so getting down into the 3200-3300 range might be out of the question.
