hey guys welcome back to the channel so it's been a little while since I posted my last
video on the is-300 dash I've just been out traveling a couple days a week for my real
day job and I just haven't had time to actually work on my car and do stuff for YouTube so
today I'm gonna go ahead and put that new Dash the one that refinished a couple videos
ago back together we're gonna go ahead and put it back in the car and get everything
buttoned up [Music]
so I've got that sticky Dash that I pulled out of the car right here on the floor I have
to transfer the airbag all the HVAC Vents and everything behind there over to the new
Dash the one that's been refinished and it's just been sitting here waiting to get all
the parts I chose to just reuse these instead of using the ones I took off of there just
because I took that apart like two years ago and I don't know where all the hardware is
so I'm just go ahead and just use everything off of here that way I know exactly where
everything goes in addition to the dash pieces transferring over to the new parts the center
console piece is the cup holder all the parts for the armrests and everything I need to
transfer over to this one that I refinished on the new center console as you can see I've
got my new leather boot that I put on here for the e-brake so that thing's all ready
to go I had to transfer that and use the original bracket and everything that snaps into here
and glue it on but this thing looks good now this thing was like 30 on eBay but it fits
pretty well I just had to open this up a little bit but overall it's a pretty good good copy
of the original OEM One you guys didn't know the center consoles are basically all the
same even on the 2001 one the one that's missing the armrest the only thing different is that
little spot right here is missing over here there's actually a plug but the hole is actually
there on the newer one you just need to transfer all that stuff over all the molding all the
holes for the screws and everything are all in the same spot so it's a matter of just
taking the screws apart putting it over here and screwing it back on and getting all that
back together so that's the first thing we're going to do before we get to the dash

I was able to take everything apart pretty easy this is all a bunch of Phillips screws
except for the two 10 millimeters for the airbag I went ahead and took apart all the
metal brackets and everything I might just transfer it over there and replace those other
metal brackets that were on that other Dash these are those metal brackets right here
I went ahead all the piping and HVAC is all out so it should bolt right in my vents on
this one are still perfectly good nothing broken so that's good I'm gonna go ahead since
I have everything apart I'm gonna go ahead and clean everything with some 303 protectant
especially the ducts and the inside the Ducks and any kind of residue and dust in there
before I put it all back together I think this airbag cover is non-melting also off
my so I'm gonna go ahead and just use that versus the one that came with the 2001 just
because I think this one's in better condition anyways it hasn't been sitting outside in
the junkyard getting all weathered up aside from that should be pretty straightforward
bolt-on and we'll have the dash ready all right we're able to transplant everything
over to the new Dash got everything put back in I did put a coat of 303 UV protectant on
here just to shine it all up and to provide ultraviolet protection up here on this area
especially once it's on the dash and we can't get to it but it does look shiny now and black
I was able to clean the underside and all the pipes and Vents and everything with that
same 303 protectant and got everything put together put all the sensors and everything
over on camera I didn't show putting these back on but you should put these sensors back
on first because once you put the ducts in it kind of blocks a few of the tabs that the
wire harness snaps to so you gotta actually reach for that so that got in there the ducts
and everything are cleaned out and new pretty much everything snaps in airbag is in bolted
down so we're just going to go ahead and just slide this right back into the dash the way
we took it out should be fairly easy because if you saw my video we yanked it out it came
straight out and now we just push it straight back in and put everything back together [Music]
foreign [Music]
so we got the dash snap in here it was pretty simple just to get everything lined up I had
to line up the airbag kind of get the bolts in place once I got the airbag in place everything
else kind of lined up properly and you just give it a punch right here on the edges and
on the corner here and it all kind of Pops in so you just gotta line up these studs right
here there's a stud up here and then all these little holes and brackets right here kind
of all fall into place once they fall into place and everything's good just go find where
you put all your hardware and then bolt it all back together I'm gonna go ahead and put
the steering column back up temporarily just to hold it up so I have more room to put my
legs I'm gonna start bolting up all the dash pieces and getting this all in
foreign [Music] [Applause] [Music] getting that steering wheel column and steering wheel
and everything back up here was kind of a pain in the ass I ended up having to take
this little duck that which I should have taken out when I did the original Dash to
pop out it comes out pretty easily it just got these three compression Clips right there
you just take a flat head and then just bend it a little bit don't bend it too much where
you're going to break it on the top and the bottom and this thing pops right out and it
helps the steering column drop much better and it doesn't block that one immobilizer
box that I messed up when I was removing it and it gives you much more room to work with
so just remember when you're removing the dash to pop this thing out first to make your
life a little bit easy other than that we're gonna go ahead and just get all the screws
and everything back in foreign

[Music] guys we've got everything back in the car look at how nice and clean everything
looks now no more sticky Dash got that two-tone but it's not overly two-toned just because
it kind of Blends in with that dark black Mash already with this graphite gray Pearl
everything's back together again just got junk everywhere just gotta do final cleanup
make sure I get everything back in place but I can tell you guys I got every bolt and every
nut back in here unlike some of y'all that gonna do this I know you guys are going to
leave some of this stuff out but I'm pretty OCD about that and I got every nut and bolt
every wire back where it's supposed to be and we're gonna go ahead and get this we'll
go ahead and wrap this project up thanks for tuning all the way to the end of this video
on me getting that Dash put in the car as you can see it's a pretty straightforward
process to put it all back into the car you just got to remember where all your bolts
and your nuts and where everything goes luckily I was able to find all my bolts and screws
and everything I got everything back in I got all the wire harnesses all the wire clips
and everything back to where they were supposed to be the OCD in me just wants to get all
that stuff back in the car the way it was the way I found it if you found this video
useful give it a thumbs up if you haven't subscribed to our Channel yet to stay on top
of all my different videos go ahead and subscribe to the channel turn on Bell notifications
so every time I upload a video it notifies you and you can check it out stay tuned for
the channel I'm getting ready to do my manual swap and now that I've got the dash done in
a future video we'll go through all the steps and everything to do the manual swap I'll
do that kind of one step at a time for each major component on the car so that way it's
a very thorough DIY project anyway guys remember for all these different projects if I can
do it you guys can do it I want to thank you for watching and I'll talk to you guys next
time [Music]
