I hear you! But with the weather breaking, it's time to start finishing up some of these things that I have been putting off. One of these days I would like to upgrade all the suspension bushings, and upgrade the sway bars. It's a never ending process with this one! Glad to see you nearing completion on yours. Adding another to the 12A turbo group.

Thanks. The SEM products can be picked up at most auto paint stores. I have been neglecting the engine wiring since I did the turbo upgrade. Well I finally pulled the harness out and removed all the rats nest wiring. I removed all the stock tape and anything that wasn't needed. I retaped and loomed the harness. Looks so much nicer without all those extra connectors hanging everywhere. I also installed my 80 amp TII alternator.

The AC is the only thing on that car that still works from the factory! I'm not touching it. The SA is getting close to being put up for sale. I may have a "Project" thread on here to let people see all that's been done and upgraded on it.

I finally broke down and upgraded my spark plug wires. I found a place on E-Bay that sells the Accel universal V8 kits for less than $30 new. I have two wires left over, but I think it turned out better than buying the direct fit set. This way I was able to make the wires exacty the length I needed.

When I first picked this car up, the dash was awfull. I decided at that time to put a dash cap on it and deal with it later. Well, it's 4 years later and time to deal with it. The cap has done well, but the adhesive was starting to give way, and the cap was peeling off. I was not going to go through that again.
I had found a good dash top a while back that I purchaced from another forum member. I decided the time was now to put it in. After a few hours of work, this is where I am today.
This is what's left of the old dash top.
This is the dash cap that will be for sale shortly. It is still in great shape, and would be good to reuse.
And the new dash!!!

I can answer all your questions then. openshot, the steering wheel is APC. This was one of the few "flat bottom" steering wheels that actually look good.

Another quick update. Since the 3" exhaust upgrade, I haven't been real happy with the position of the muffler. Just looked too droopy to me. I put out as far as I did because of the flames. It just never looked right. So I decided to give it a more "tucked" look. I added some flame protection as well Kinda gives her a unique look.
