I’m kinda down with some yet-to-be-identified crud, but got bored and went outside to work on the car since I got a stack of boxes. But first! Two of my favorite things I wanted to share :
1)the dork-o-motive podcast is back and you should give it a try. Brian Lohnes is the announcer for the NHRA and is a historical auto-geek and it’s a great dive into historical automotive and other motorsports events.
Second - I got a Light bar headlamp and I absolutely love it. It was like working in noontime daylight this evening.
I was using both of them this evening and figured y’all might enjoy them as well.
Anyway, a while back I manual swapped the car and never finished the interior. I’ve been driving around with a rag over the hole in the hump. Plus the bezel was covered in felt for some reason.
So, I ordered the stupid $130 manual trans hump from LMR, along with a new boot, bezel, and cup holder console. Looks like a new car! The color matched as close to perfect as I could have hoped for.
I also have a double din radio install kit but all the head units seem to be back ordered. I’ll have to wait on that.
Finally, my parts pile on the workbench is reaching critical mass, I’ll need to do something about it soon.
