Default Just some pics before the na-t build starts...56k go find Waldo

Well figured it was time to post some pics after kicking a hornets nest and considering trading my beloved SC for a DSM (thank you to those that talked me out of it)..But its come time for some final pics before everything is torn down, and ripped out for the na-t build. These were last minute pics from today, car is a little dirty, but dont tell anyone

after the build, I am taking the car for a photo shoot..but these will do for now..enjoy

There is still a bit of a gap around the head unit, but will be resolved later. The box for the subs is going to repainted to match, and re-fitted to the trunk. The Levoc shift **** (Thanks again to TheMole) works excellent, and may be wrapped in carbon later to flow with the interior a little more. The fog lights that are inplace now are going to fitted into the stock turn lamp housings later on. The SAFC-2 may be moved below the headunit, but not sure yet..will figure it out once the build starts..and yes the 90,425 miles are original..second owner FTW

But main point of focus in the next couple of weeks is the na-t build..thread for the build will be up soon with plenty of pics

everytime i see a automatic gauge cluster i cringe.

BTW i would have got a double dinn hu and a metra dash kit for that oem look.

Also you should start using your parking brake, it takes stress of the parking pin in the tranny.
