'89 Dash, installed 140 cluster, freshened up the dash and center console with interior paint, installed center gauge bezel, new carpet, seats installed.
Once I get the center console, I just need to wire in the ashtray nitrous panel and it will be close to done. Well close because there is always something...

Here are some pics.

Thanks. It's a lot of hard work and sweat doing it in your garage during the summer but the reward is well worth it.

The hood has a 4" cowl.

Nice!! Is the steering wheel original?

Yah thats what I noticed. Very nice touch to keep the 86 steering wheel. I love that wheel. Same as is in my car. My nephew was in the back of my car and when I turned a corner he said my steering wheel is an upside down face smilling. I laughed but he is right.

How much work to install that dash? Any links to help with that modification?

Nice

Very nice job.

Where can I get those wheels? Those look great on a black car, I'd like to fire those up myself.
