This should show where the top four defroster vent screws are located.




Good luck getting those side vents out in one piece.

lol thanks i probaly going to wait so my father can help me out as well. i dont want me doing it and then messing something up and get yelled at lol. but thx for the info at least ik were to start. unlikee b4 i was just going to look for screws and take them out and try disassemble the dash.
and anoter question. when u take the dash do u have to take apart the gauges as well like unplug and stuff. cuz if u do. isnt complicated putting them back?

I just put my dash together today. I was doing my heater core so I unplugged almost everything, but it was only to get the wires out of the way. And you don't really have to worry about what plugs into what harness cause it's like pieces to a puzzle. You'll figure it out as soon as you start putting it together.

The gauge cluster just comes out in one piece, it is actually probably one of the easiest parts. The hardest part about that is unpluging the speedo cable and putting it back on if you don't have skinny hands and arms like I do. Other than that it is just plugs that only go in one correct place. Like stated above, like a puzzle.

Seat cost seems reasonable. I am getting leather done to the exact pattern and it is costing 1300

ok saw i took out the scres from the pics supradad put and now im stuck. i dont see anymore screw to take. and the dash is still in there. can someone help me out. and i got a question. one of my cars was made in May 1985. does that mean its still a 85 or a 86 supra. so i can start ordering parts but i need to be sure wat year it is.

[eightsixxmkII]

You have to take apart the lower dash in order to take aparT the top. & just tell them its an 85. It'll cause confusion with the mk3 supra if you tell them its an 86.

alright thx yh i was thinking about that so i just tell them 85 from now on then thx,

ok so this wat i did today: took out the gauge cluster, took the bolts out from the sides, took the screws out from under the two vents Supradad showed me, took out the glove box and started taking some screws out (not all only some) and yet the dam* thing is still in there.

i go at it again tomorrow, now im tired and for some reason there was broken pieces of glass under the gauges i didnt notice and ended up pricking and cutting my fingers smh...... so anyone got some pics on how they took out their dash cuz now im stuck, tired and exhauseted lol...until tomorrow anyway....
