That's a cheap date.  With the guys I know it takes a coupe of beers to
get around to discussing what we're there for.

Subject: TR6 Dash panel R&R

OK, I am finally going to attempt to do this on my TR this coming 
weekend. I've got a new TRF dash, new bulbs, and new guage-to-dash 
gaskets. Am I missing anytihing? If I have time I might clean the guage 
faces and paint the rims if needed. WIll probably try to cleanup/fix 
the Hazard switch following Dan Masters book. I am going to use the 
Bentley manual as my guide for the dash R/R. Does anyone have any tips 
or special tools that might be useful to make things easier? The 
Bentley doesn't mention it, but I thought taking out the driver's seat 
might make it easier to lie on my back to get to the wiring? About how 
long should I expect this to take for a first-timer? Or, just how much 
beer should I buy? ha ha A friend of mine says he knows a guy who 
claims he can drop a VW engine in 1 1/2 beers (no wire cutting). 

Cheers,
Ryan
