Looks like you have a nice platform to work with. Enjoy it!

Fair warning - If you put those big wheels on the brakes are going to look tiny and that could get expensive.

Thanks, that was one of the reasons I went with this car, it is very solid. No cancer to be found.
And yes that is going to be a bit of an odd look having the big diam wheels especially on the back with the small stock "drum" brakes showing. Big brakes are on the list, maybe by the time I can afford them, small stock brakes will be the hottest thing

Just spent a few hours tracing and labeling my wires with a continuity tester last night. It went better then I thought. Just need to put the proper fittings on the ends and plug them in.

Well I have been slowly working on the car. I got the wiring labeled and ran to where it needs to go. Once I have everything (lights and what not) working I will then hide all the wiring.

I have been fabricating a center console. It came out of a toyota celica, with a little trimming it fits quite well. I comes with 2 cup holders

. I still need to wrap it in leather and add some guages. as you can see in the picture it covers up part of the ash tray, I'm thinking I might use some aluminum and shape it to cover up the holes (where the handle above the glove box goes) and have it come down and cover up the stock ash tray.

I ended up trading my stock seats for a new headliner, steering wheel, switches and knobs, and mics other parts. I ended up deciding to install some seats I took out of a Toyota Celica that my son totaled. They are very comfortable, with some very good lumbar and side support. The back seat fits perfectly too.

I currently have the gas tank out. I was just going to paint it and put it back, but once getting it cleaned up it had a few small dents. So I am using a sheet of aluminum I had and making a cover for it.

Well thats about it for now. I will get some more pics up soon.
