Quick update. The interior is at the shop. Seats, dash, arm rest, center console and arm rest are getting wrapped in leather with blue stitching. Will post pictures once it get it back.
Researching head unit, speakers, sub and amp now. Hope to get those purchased soon. Was going to send my gauges to @timothy_nd28 but he is experimenting with a new setup and wasn't taking on more work until he perfected that. I wasn't real sure I wanted to open up the gauges or splice into the wiring so I ordered the LED bulbs from carmagic.us. The package just arrived today. The shipping speed and communication was top notch!! Will post pics once it's all back together (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i.ibb.co-21387-1579133903.1.jpg) |

Just picked this up from the interior guy today. Think it turned out well. Now time to put a sub in it. Can't wait for the rest of the pieces to get done.

Had some goodies arrive. Got a new Bluetooth head unit, subwoofer and the brake, rear turn signals and reverse LEDs from Spoke. Hope to start installing them soon. Will post pictures once installed.

Got to spend some time on the car today. Got the LEDs from Spoke installed and wow what a difference. Very happy I went with them. Also installed the LED headlights from 914Rubber and those look to be great as well. Then cut the center console and put in the sub. Hope to hook up all and everything next weekend. It's slowly coming together.

Good news and bad news.
Good news is got the interior all done. The seats, dash, center stack, console, arm rest, back pad and (914rubber)speaker pods are all covered in new leather and what a difference it has made. Stereo sounds so much better, no concert hall by any means but 1000x better than stock. The sub adds just enough thump without overpowering or rattling the car apart. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i.ibb.co-21387-1587912373.1.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i.ibb.co-21387-1587912373.2.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i.ibb.co-21387-1587942123.1.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i.ibb.co-21387-1587942124.2.jpg) Now time for the bad news. The car will not start. Determined it does not have spark. I has a Crane Cams XR700 ignition on it that is about 30 years old. It has power to the coil. it has power to the module and all grounds are good, clean and tight. My dad seems to think the optical pickup went bad so I bought a new XR700 ignition praying that fixes it. If you have any other thoughts please let me know. |
