Those lights are going to be awesome! I really like how much attention is being given to lighting throughout the auto industry. Not just with function but with aesthetics as well.

Where are you sourcing your lights from? I can never seem to find the OEM quality and brightness LEDs.

Which ones are you looking for? I have used a few different suppliers, I have an idea of what parts I want and as I come across them I pick them up. I have not come across a single source for components.

Default interior

I was planning on putting the rear floor pans in today, welded up a few pieces on the interior and thought I'd better fit the seats in before the floor gets finished. I set the seat all full height and all the way back so I know I have clearance later.

Before, some time ago...:


Test fit:










This isn't the final upholstery, it will be redone later when we get to that point. I still have not decided on colors but it won't be grey.

Well, I guess the turn signal Hella LEDs and the turn signal ring. I was hoping you had found a single source. My problem is I want to be able to make my own turn signals or marker lights but I can't find the really bright square LEDs that OEM uses anywhere.

Thanks

The Hella LEDay line is available at Tire Rack dot com or direct from Hella, for most other LEDs try super bright led dot com. They have the square ones.

Put in a few hours installing front suspension and brakes to get final clearance checks and plan out hard line installation. Need a break from wiring diagrams.





Everything is coming together nicely

I like that wheel spinning shot. Very cool.
