    considering there are part missing and the paint is so so,there are still a lot of aftermarket parts on the car it looks like. and all the things that were missing are easily replaceable.how much did you pick it up for?

    Went to the yard and got all the rest of the dash pieces. Found a turn signal stalk that was broken and they wanted $43 for it.. And it was broken

    Got everything put together.


    Still need a dummy plate



    Got tired of looking at the dirty vents, so I pulled them and cleaned them



    Then I got a gas door and it wouldn't fit. So I realized the bracket was different, so I swapped it out with the old one.




    Need to adjust it.. Anyone got any tips?

    Then I cleaned ye hell out of the seats.. They look new







    I need a non tilt clam shell and basic turn signal stalk pm me if you have one.
    Hoping tomorrow I get my euro signals. Then I've got fenders, hood, and bumpers on standby.

    I really need a black OEM golf grill needs to be black

    That's all for today, I've got to help a friend move so I'll update through out the week

    You went to the yards and weren't able to find an interior dummy piece? I'll mail you one if you wanted to wait the week it would take the USPS. Just PM me your mailing address.
