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.

The new gauge faces, and I'm trying to find ways to eliminate the other '80's lighting.

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.
