In peroration for the track events that I'll be doing, I got some new seats. Thanks to my parents for getting them for my b-day! They are actually a great deal though, real leather reclining seats with sliders, $400 for the pair!!!!! I got some rectangular 3/4" X 1-1/2" .125" wall aluminum tubing. to use for the mounting brackets. I made them myself and they worked out great. Yeah, I don't have the carpet in there, I took it out for the manual install and decided not to put it back in till I get some new stuff.
Well I finished up a new speedometer cluster custom gauge setup. Much better than my old one, in my opinion. This time I used Autometer Cobalt gauges. One mechanical Oil Pressure and electrical Water Temp gauge. A little drilling, wiring, cutting and dremel action and it fits like a charm! Enjoy!
First a refresher on the old setup.
Now the new setup.
I have replaced my wiper and turn signal lever with new ones. Much nicer, the peeling chrome was really bothering me.
Got some new floor mats off the web. First time I have ever spent more than $6 on a set of floor mats. Well, they look good, the rear could stand to be a little larger, but the front ones fill in very nicely.
I got a �new� bezel for the instrument cluster, and also did a good bit of detailing to the interior. I also did the exterior, but that is else where on my site.
Here are some basic shots of the general interior.
Here is a picture of the extra switches that I have labeled with what they do.
To the left is my hiding block. Not that I really want to use it, I made when I had other not so pretty things sitting there. The other pics are the cold cathode (don�t let the name fool you, they aint cold) lights on the inside of the trunk lid. They are simply the ones that go inside a computer. I used these because they are about $12, and they strait up use 12V power. :-)
Up next are the gauges, which I didn't do these myself. My Dad did this when it was still his car. I think it looks great, though I'm not particularly fond of the voltmeter covering up my speed. The odometer reads 260,000 miles. To the right is the best I could get this camera to take a pick of the blue lights in the dark.
Last is a picture of the tachometer that I still need to do, and my JVC ElKameleon CD player. I just couldn't see puttin� some flashy silver receiver there, and this looks like it was made for the car.
