Guide to removing interior wood panels..

[o]

Hey all,

I want to remove the wooden panels inside so I can have them overhauled. Does anyone on here know the best way/process for taking these out un-damaged?

Thanks in advance,

Door pieces should be straight forward.
Here's a previous post on dash section, which might be of help:

There must be more in here, just run a search under "wood"

hello

Infos concerning front dash can be found in the posted thread.
Removing of the front windshield is mandatory, or highly recommended.
Concerning the door wood panels, after removing door handles and stuff from the inside panels, pull them away.
Then you will find, screws (photo) tightening them to the frame.
When all removed, lift the part from the upper door frame.
Then on the other side, you will find a cloth glued to the metal.
Under it (photo) you will have screws holding the wood.
unscrew (4 for rear, 5 or 6 for front)
and this is it !!!
...if this can help !!!.
