This is a re-post of what I posted this morning. With photos that show up now.
Stuart said moderators don't have the ability to turn editing back on but he was able to delete my posts so I could fix and re-post them.

It did seem relatively hard to remove but I wasn't following any guide on the order of component removal. I will need to find some guidance when the time comes to install it all back.
I am going to need to replace the dash or send this one out for recovering. I haven't done any research on that yet. I know it will be expensive.

Thanks!
The original dash harness is a non-rally but the seller of the car included a used dash harness w/ rally. I'll make the decision on what do when I inspect them both really closely. I do know that the inside and outside A/C harnesses have issues. May buy new or make my own for those. Not sure about the engine and front light harness yet. I have some studying to do on those.

Not sure what caused this:
