Almost finished. It's taking a long time to re-assemble as I'm referring back to pics I took for many silly details (wiring routing and what type/color bolt went where).

Tomorrow, hopefully this mess will be OVER. All that's left is the dash pad, front fascia pieces, the side window trims and center console!

BTW - The shifter is NOT the Monte's shifter. I threw an old Grand Am one on (so not to damage my leather on and to stop snagging or getting poked by the exposed shaft).

That's an easy one.


Here is one I did a couple week ago (50% reassembled). Notice no steering column, no console, no glove box, no radio, no I/C, no BCM, no sill trim, garnish moulding tucked above rearview.

Good NEWS!!! It's done!! The dash is back together!!! Sadly, I ran out of daylight to get the center console back in, but the worst is well behind me (my friend Jeff was a BIG help with this).
We even hooked up the battery and just switched her to the "on" position (no we did not start the car, one reason, I still have to connect the heater hoses). Lights came on, cluster activated, it's looking good!! A few more tasks and she'll be on the road!!

That would be a 2007 L-Body GM (Equinox, Vue, Torrent).

That's my big question. I probably won't have the AC charged until early to mid June.

I have to finish one more thing and then it's time for the "summer oil change" and gettin' her on the ROAD!!

Were you able to see where the original Evaporator was leaking?

This is a pic from Friday of my stopping point Thursday. Not much done Friday (basically re-connected the heater hoses).

I have a small to-do list (more about that once all is completed) before the Monte is officially able to be started.
