The A/C controls were all siezed into position. Years of gunk from being on the farm had jammed the rack and pinions. I got the control pack out and put a whole can of contact cleaner through it before regreasing all the plastic gears and slides. Unfortunately forcing the siezed controls to move has over time stripped the teeth, so even though it now ran freely, the controls would slip positions. I got a new control pack from a wrecker and installed that one instead.
The Fascia has been cut with a saw to install an entertainment unit. I wanted to restore the original look so I got a single DIN Pioneer head unit, a spacer and an intact fascia from a wreckers. Also got ISO adaptors and cleaned up some of the wiring back there, including putting in a new ground stud.
