Car was claybar'd, waxed, and cleaned but will definetly need another wash before SZ.

Interior right now:drool:

 

[TRicker]

looks VERY good joe. looking forward to seeing your rig

too bad mine will be miles away from how nice i wanted it for SZ.

no new windshield, no tune, no big brakes

had too many squeaks and rattles to get rid of in the suspension. its reached that point, EVERYTHING has been replaced in the last year and a half.

 

[icysvt]

Joe the car looks amazing! I am in the same boat TRicker mine wont be the way i wanted it but I'll still be there lol. my upgraded endlinks are going on along with new brakes front and rear today and hoping to fix my sway bar mount in the rear as well.

 

[TRicker]

where is everyone getting the white HVAC overlay?

 

[14svt]

My System is in and dam it sounds good only thing wrong with the car is the dam little dents in the doors from the previous owner,Cracked windshield,.and needs front bumper fixed clearcoat peel and rock chips other then that car looks ready to show

 

[BrApple]

ebay I would think, thats where I got mine. its just basically a sticker, you just replace the existing hvac face with it.


anyway I am closing in on finishing my list of things this week. Hopefully Thursday night I can repaint the rear calipers and install the steel braided brake lines. that only leaves the front sway bar links if I can get the only ones off and cleaning the car before leaving.

 

[TheMexicanJob]

ugh, i really need to paint my calipers.

 

[blu_fuz]

Mine is the EL or E-glow gauges, not overlays.
