Pulling Dash in a 360; bringing back my daily driver to new!

Funny. A friend of mine has the 360 coupe and he said the same thing.

Where would those be? Maybe they only came on the coupe and since mine is a spider it is left blank....

 

Is your car a Euro?

 

My pdf owners manual says "33 Rear fog-light button". On the Volvo I had years ago, flipping that switch caused the brake light on one side to stay on all the time.

Does anyone know if the 355 dash comes out this easily?

 

Correct question. Only the euros have the 4th switch and it runs rear fogs. JJ has a US car so there isn't a switch.

 

Great job....Keep us inform

 

US cars never had 4 switches as far as I know. Is the 8th character of your VIN an A or B?

 

Keep in mind some "A" vined cars from the middle east (Dubai)? have "A" vins and rear fogs.

 

Hey Maury, while you have the dash off why don't you look and see where the antenna is routed. Maybe you can route it differently, like the alarm antenna, and get decent reception on the radio. Yea I don't really use it either but since the dash is off it may be an easy task.

 

My friend's coupe has the 4th switch and is a US car.

Looking through owner's manuals for the various years, in 2000 they list the button as rear fog lights, but in 2001 they do not list the button. The rear fog light appears to be the inboard red tail lights according to the 2000 manual

 

Euro's have "split" tail lights.

 

Thank you very much for the instruction... that reminds me of the exact same job that I did on my previous bmw m coupe.... I will definitely need to bookmark this.... and my first ever post goes to you....

cheers!

For my next trick, I am going to open the hood. Next week I will tackle unscrewing the oil cap and that will conclude this season of Raptorduck's Garage. Yea fear and a little incompetence goes a long way and I take that to new levels. I freaked out when I installed my carbon fiber air boxes on my 360. It took me 10 times as long as the manufacturer said it would and he was probably being conservative.

I can wrench motorcycles pretty good (but not great), but my idea of wrenching a car, let alone a Ferrari, is putting air in the tires and I freak out doing that, using two different gauges (which never agree BTW). So this feat is nothing short of heroic superhuman genius to me. I once watched a german take apart my dash on my CLK55, install a command system, and put it all back together in 1.5 hours. It was like watching a master artist at work, truly artful and something I can never dream of doing. I am the gearhead's verson of an imbecile, who looks up to gearhead morons.

 

holy sh**t!!

very impressive and thank you for sharing!

 

Any pictures of the finished dash and interior?

 

Perfect time to put this in there!!

Good writeup and props for going at it yourself!

 

WOW...this is amazing job.

Pretty impressed with the guy is doing!

Cant wait to see this NEW car when finished...

 

Maury,
That just makes me cry! I'm glad its going to look good but it seems sad to see the car, well, wounded!

Put a clear bra on it when the paint is cured! I bet on giallo modena it will not be very visible at all, provided you use something like Venture. It cost me $700 to get the entire front end, 3/4 of the hood and fender, and side skirts done but I feel so much better about the paint underneath!
