Tuesday's nightly update:

ok well i started off tonight by putting in the steering rack to eye up the the stabilizing mount that im gonna build. Looks like i've got plenty of room to work in there so i'm gonna go ahead and move on, i'll build the mount around the rack later.

from there i moved on to putting in the steering column and wheel, it was a slight pain hold it up and bolting it by my self but, i got it done.



Then i decided it was time to fix the cables and install the lever's so that i can pop the hatch and fuel door.



Hatch poper:



The other cables went well so i figured i'd do the last cable and install a hood latch and hook that up.



The mirrors were laying in my way so i figured i'd put those on and wire them up later, they are power mirrors and i've already transfered that part of the harness so i may as well utilize them.



Being that the dash is comming along, i went for the gauge cluster.. when i saw the discusing rice below the plastic cover.. i just couldn't take it.. heres the before/after

With Rice:


Without Rice:


ohh & speaking of the interior peices & rice.. i just can't deal with this.. it's gonna probly have to be trashed and i'll visit the local salvage yard.



Here was the end result of the nigth..



I was pretty pleased, i think i got alot done tonight & hope that tomarrow is nearly as productive.
