I do this every 2 years or so for complete Canadian Krown Rust
Prevention treatment.  See http://gerry.vanagon.com/cgi-
bin/wa.exe?A2=ind9909A&L=vanagon&P=R12789 for removal of
the stove/sink cabinet.  The rest goes quickly - but I do NOT have
air conditioning so that will slow you down a lot I think & I have
never done the front dash.  I'd guess a long weekend (or a week) for
a first time effort.  A battery operated drill will help a lot for
unscrewing stuff.  If you have specific (non-aircon, non-dash)
questions,  just ask.  Malcolm
