LONG time ago, helped a friend remove a old Sprint dash out of his 80 Sprint, that was poo brown to a more modern 86 Sprint dash, if i remember, nothing difficult, just a terrible job as it is awkward and you belt your head a lot, just take it easy and just keep removing fasteners and trim and heater controls and instruments to give you access to all the bits to remove.
Get yourself some sheet metal to replace all the plastic bits that you will break or are already broken and a fibreglass repair kit for the broken plastic bits that will need replacing.
Have a good collection of black self tapping screws and speed nuts and washers to put back.
Also take the steering wheel off, which is easy in a Sprint or Sud, but not so easy in a 33.
If possible, when it is free, grab an assistant and pull back the dash towards the rear of car and lift it out through the door aperture.
Done this job in my 33, when it was 4 years old, quite concerned at amount of plastic bits that were already broken...before i got to them and broke them.
Yours is 30 years old, those plastic bits will be quite brittle now, Colin.
