The gauge cluster looks like Honda gauges. They look nice, in black and white. I like em.
Be great if they lighted up like reverse glow gauges.

I removed the maroon fabric from the headliner and am in the process of recovering it with the grey ultra suede.

Very, very nice. I've always wanted a first gen but one thing I hate about them is the color of the interiors. Their terrible. Whats the estimated cost of this project?

Just the color change? Probably about $100. That's not counting the new seats I'm getting, the aftermarket steering wheel, shift boots from Maciek, etc, etc.

Figure I spent about $40 or $50 on dye, $50 on fabric, $70 on the steering wheel, I want to say the shift boots were $40 or so, the gauge faces were $45, the assorted paint was about $20...

Of course, this doesn't count the new rear carpet I have to make, as my car didn't have the rear carpet section, and I'm doing a custom sub enclosure behind the seats anyway...

I tried unsuccessfully to crack open the odometer and set it to zero, since she's being reborn... I was also going to de-orange the numbers on the trip meter and odometer at that time, but because I couldn't get it apart, I'm boned there.
