    If you want to see more detail about the steering wheel, gas pedal, and dash removal, check out WannabeRacer here on UA-cam. He has some good videos about that. Here's a link to his channel ---> ua-cam.com/channels/jx-5T37-IbyungIXrYnb4g.html

    Did you cut the wiring out? or is there a plug I am missing?

      Do you mean, for the stereo system? I cut the speaker wires going to the doors, because it looked like de-pinning the connectors inside the door frames was gonna be a huge hassle (probably requiring door removal). The rest of the stereo harness was unplug / unbolt.

      @@michaelblacktree Cool Ill look into that on my car. Did the did the cleanup video this week where I took out the airbag brain, airbags, ect... and was looking at how realistic it would be to remove all the stereo wires without cutting.

      Speaking of the airbag controller, I found out it has some other functions. For example, it can lock the seatbelts and sever the battery cable in case of a crash. It also has a wire going to each seat, maybe for occupancy sensors? Just FYI.

      @@michaelblacktree good to know, I think I will keep it deleted for now as all my seats and airbags are gone at this point.

      I tend to agree. You wouldn't want your battery cable to go bye-bye if you tap a wall...

    Inside the carpet on the front did you find some of that material the sound deadning stinky rubber??

      Are you referring to the waxy stuff that smells like crayons? That stuff is under the backseat and behind the dash, but not under the carpet.
