sup guys,
 like i said, mk1 cabby.

   so i got this panel that needs changing, its the one that sits under glove box, instruments and steering wheel, it go`s the full width of the dash, the lowest fascia panel.  I can see that theres 4 or so fastenings holding it on but cant figure them out. :cry:

funny thing is, i got a Donner car and cant get the bugger of that either :sad:

i would definitely appreciate the help :tongue:

thx in advance.

It's been about 3 - 4 years since I looked at a mk1 cab (thanks vix), but I think I removed it without removing the whole dash. There were a number of little hidden parts holding it all on though.
