I also have a line on a 90 lx hatchback with a complete black interior. Also a running car but it's pretty beat on the outside. Might buy that too...…...

So I got the 93 parts car home. Drove it home. Ran great, has a nasty sounding cam, 5 speed shifts great. I started to feel bad about parting it and then BAM! The cowl is all rusted out. Ok, guilt gone. So I spent the morning pulling the dash, the pedals, the wiring, a some of the interior. It was fun. Next days off will pull the engine and trans. I am giving the trans to my friend. He needs one. I have 3.

I have at least 10 switches. Which side do you need? $5 to cover the shipping and I will give you the switch.

Found something interesting at a local thrift shop today. Apparently it's a gauge for measuring the thickness of non-ferrous coatings applied to ferrous metal substrates. $22. Still works.

We just call them mil guages.

Great tool to see how much paint or bondo might be on a panel.

That's what came to mind as a use for it. I thought it was neat, so I bought it. I definitely don't need it, but maybe I'll just go around the house later and see how thick the coatings are on everything. I'll write them all down and show my wife. I'm sure she'll be interested.
