    1998 GU dashboard removal

    Hey guys

    Has anyone here attempted to remove a dashboard from this vehicle, is it something i could do myself or better to leave it to the pro's, as i mentioned in the R.I.P thread, my brother cut out the passenger side dashboard for a laptop project but i will now take that out and replace it, did these vehicles have airbags?

    Im pretty good in the electrical department, installed many full stereo systems in my time and don't mind tinkering to have a go at things

    thanks guys

    Yes, they are not too hard to remove, you should have no problem, your car will most likely only have had a drivers air bag (steering wheel), but removal of the glove box for inspection will 100% confirm the absence of a passenger dash airbag (doubt it will have a airbag if Bob cut the dash open anyway)

    I have a 98 GU and it has only one Airbag on Drivers side.
    Maybe the TI Model had two Airbags

    And the reason i ask that, is because i saw on here that bob was having an issue with the door panels from a Ti to his ST where the handle goes, not sure if hes fixed that
