Some New Additions

After finishing my second attempt at my engine rebuild, my starter burnt up leaving me without chance to test said second rebuild for a week. In the mean time I added a few new and interesting things to my FB.

First things first, while buying my oil for my rebuilt motor I decided to throw on a $6 chrome tip for my exhaust. Funny thing is the bosal pipe is sheered off underneath so nothing is actually coming out of this exhaust pipe. Fortunatly I'm geting that fixed in the next couple weeks.




I also decided to paint match a little dash trim. I think it turned out great!

It was really easy to do. That part is still a work in progress. Gotta do some more sanding and make the cup holders that are going in right behind them in the center console

gasp, you painted the radio surround and ash tray!!! they look so nice in the silver that the car originally came with...and not to mention they're expensive to replace. the paint does look like a quality job though, so nice work..just not my taste.

Yeah they gray looked nice but it did have 25 years of wear on it and it was cracked thanks to a past install job by best buy. The part behind the shifter was actually down to the black plastic lol
