Weekend installs

Finished up the Steering wheel (until the Body Paint comes in for the bowtie) and the tailights. Also painted the inner door handle surround & the little ring around the lock. I found the door switch panels are screwed in place from inside the door, so they will require taking the door panel off.

So I need more parts for the Oil Pressure gauge, so I will hold off on both gauges until I have everything. I only want to remove the A Pillar once if possible.

Ok, so now that the weather has turned nice (not that it will stay that way), I am looking to get back to installing all my wait parts & fluids...
Thinking I will go ahead and install the A-Pillar pods & gauges, and just lengthen the wires until I get all the rest of the parts I need to finish the install.
I'm gonna order a couple more quarts of Amsoil and then swapping out the Transmission fluid, finally.

I have a couple more things I am looking into as well, I will give more details when I have them

Where did you relocate your OBDII to? Sounds interesting.

I moved it to the Fuze panel. I can get a picture if you want.

Today I Bypassed the BPV Solenoid and started the Boost Gauge install only to realize I need more wire colors, lol. I'll probably make due using 1 color twice, since I only have 1 car and don't want to put it back together incomplete...

Boost Gauge is installed (minus nighttime light, until I find the right fuse). I have to say though, the ZZP A-Pillar pod does cover up the very left side of the gauge. I find myself leaning to the right to see the entire face.

Sounds like other than that, it went pretty well though and worth it? Pics? (unless my work pc is just not showing them).

I'm going to try and get some this weekend, if the weather holds out. I have been doing this work late at night and closed up in the garage

Yeah we need pictures ASAP! Lol

Weather turned to crap again. I will get updated pics as soon as the weather (and time) allows

Got the bowites painted, though I did mess up a little on the front, and will have to touch it up later.
I also installed a vinyl to the front bumper

Added some teflon tape to the thread of the Oil Sender adapter. Hopefully this will hold better than the pipe sealant did. If this does the trick, then I should be able to get the Oil Pressure gauge install wrapped up soon.
Painting more parts as well.

Still waiting on time & weather to both cooperate so I can clean the car and get some updated pictures...

Still leaking around the OE sending unit, everything else looks good.

Pulled code P0171 today. Have an appointment with the dealer in the morning to get it looked at. Wonder if I can get them to do an oil change at the same time.

Gonna try to get brackets mounted for the horns, on top of the bumper, this weekend. Might clean off the rad while I have the bumper cover off as well.
Also, I'm going to try tackle the Chrome along the Windows & Trunk bar, if the weather holds out for it. I need to touch up the radio trim, as it got damaged recently, and finish the inner door handles.

Looks decent. Is your car black?

Hay Dragon I think we will not hear from that guy until next year . Been here just shy of a year and then gets his first post Dang , I can't stop yapping orange wheels that's sic .

ok, I got the horns to their final resting places. 1 in the stock location and the other on the opposite side of the car. Much better sound.
Weather has not been holding out for me to paint though...
