Default Passenger side airbag conversion complete

So I had a PAB dash laying around that I wanted to drop into the XR8, however it was one of those "Next weekend, when I get time, too busy, can't be bothered" type of jobs.

So I got tonsillites as an early Christmas present and slept all day.. Ended up starting it about 12am during the week (Yay for Holidays)

All in all was not such a hard job. I've heard some horror stories about pulling out the dash of these things, but I didn't let that worry me. The new dash had a few brackets up to the top of the dash broken, so Dad made me some new ones and reinforced with a steel brace to prevent anymore cracking.

Reinforced pedal box while I was there.

Wiring was easy. I took my time and got everything neat and tidy.

Dash is pretty heavy and awkward to maneuver so my advice is to ask for help there. I did it myself and nearly it nearly killed me lol.

Just need a glove box that has the XR8 emblem in it now.

I have some crappy pics (Camera went flat half way through so I didn't managed to record all the stages) but I can post if anyone wants.
