ouch yup you will need the lot! once you have the airbag off the wheel the rest is simple.
I cut all the airbag out of the one i did just look at the new bag and you see how it works then you will know what to do to remove it.

Hi there Hgprem01
I just want to ask a slightly unrelated Question.
The ute has gone from an absolute mess to quite good. My question is, how involved was the process of getting the front end back to scratch and the cost faesibility. I.E. Was this exercise an expensive one. I have heard of people recovering and repairing stat write offs before and am curious as to whether it is a worthwile way to get personal with a project and still have a good pocket $$$balance
Cheers

Steve,
This car was a repairable write off, rather than a stat write off, be very carefull and check the car against the register before purchase. A stat write off can never be re-registered I understand in victoria.
Yes it was worth in the long run, but not counting labour time.
I brought all genuine parts from my local holden dealer which made it more expensive than say buying another wreak to fix it.
The next one will not have airbags deployed. Its a very big job inside to change all the dash etc. I would also recommend either being freinds with a panel beater who can access VACC or similar for veichle dimensions when welding up the front.
Also, if hit in the front, inspect the K frame. It is designed to deform, I didn't know this at the time.
If you have any other questions don't hesitate to ask.
Regards
Matt
