Some pics from the first oil change...

That is good....I did the same on my '93 coupe when the heater core went out in '96 (just out of warranty). I carefully removed the entire dash when I needed to swap out cores....then I figured out that the A/C needed to be discharged, and I drove it like that to the dealer. The service writer almost fell out when she saw the car minus the dash.

I learned (via the tech that helped me finish) how they "drop" the dash down...I'm still not doing that job myself anymore, though, unless the car is already apart.

There is a way to do the heater core swap on a Fox without discharging the A/C but it takes 2 people and is a bit of a pain....I've done more of those than I like to remember but being in the business I'm in I can't get away from doing them.....but I do charge what it's worth for the job and I still don't like doing them.
