Slimming down the dash......

Post by cjthor »

Well my MX hasnt been my daily driver for many years now.. It mostly sees the road maybe once a month or so and mostly hits the track. The car no longer has AC or a stereo.....as well as no airbags. I was thinking of cutting the entire passenger side of the dash off and contour it a bit so it doesnt look horrible. Any one ever thought of doing this? Or does anyone have a pic with the dash off? How heavy is that dash?

the dash is not too heavy - probably 40-50 pounds total... (it's a 94 dash right?)
