      Wait, your car just started to look really good, not that it didn't look good already. Are you painting it brown again? Also I will explode like a 16yr old girl who's friend won't tell her who the boy she likes is going to ask to prom if you don't tell me what you bought this instant.

              lol Thanks guys...It has been an extremely long time coming (over a year and a half) but the car is getting there...Oh and about the secret item I am sorta making it out to be more exciting than it really is...and I wont tell yet. I want to install it first...It would just be replacing one thing that is currently IN the car with another one that is meant for it....



              Oh and I have a good condition license plate bucket that will get primered and painted when the time comes and yes I will be going with a dark metallic brown color.

                how the hell did you cut those clean holes?! i've attempted to do this and failed miserably... the second hole cracked the face of the speedo..... im a moron. i'll post some pictures soon. im was so ashamed that its been 8 months since i tried this.

                great progress btw. i was always and still am a fan of the BROWN BLOB! keep up the great work!!

                  Haha thanks the Brown Blob has some fans!

                  Cutting those holes was a very nerve racking experience. But slow and steady I made it through. I did it with a hand held drill and some patience. Took about 10 minutes per hole. lol I didnt want to fuck anything up. There were some scary moments when the hole saw got caught up on some thicker plastic and shocked me when the speedo wanted to spin out of my hands. but I made it through

                    i think I got it,

                    after re-reading parts of the thread, I"m going to go with saying that you got a gauge panel for the above the glove box gauges that was made for an 87, not an 88-up. If i am right, I got dibs on the other (if you are willing to sell it).
