I'm sorry, didn't mean to make you nervous about doing the job. Just wanted to let you know its a time consuming job, not really hard. I'm sure you can do it just fine! Just take your time, don't force anything, and come back and post any questions or problems you run into along the way. Go for it! Many on this board have done this job, so you will have plenty of technical support along the way.

Have fun with it!

That's good advice about not forcing anything. Remember that the plastic parts of your car (trim pieces and so forth) are more than twenty years old. That stuff gets brittle and will crack/break if forced--and it's expensive to replace!

Thanks for all the advice guys, i'm feeling alot better about it.

Sean, i've learned the hard way about not forcing anything with the interior of these cars. I ripped some of the headliner trying to take a trim piece off soon after I got the car.. argh! Thankfully the dash is in really good shape so i'm guessing its coming from a late 80's 924S, and will hopefully be alot less brittle than my current one.

Good to know I have some people here experienced in this. Thanks guys.
