the status of my 2000

Post by harofreak00 »

I finally got the urge to start working on my car. I have been wanting to install my new dash for almost a year now. The airbag was deployed on this car 2 owners ago causing a large winkle on the vinyl part of the dash. Yes I tried heating it and fixing it, but it just doesn't stay. After every single person you have sitting in the passenger seat notices it, and points it out, its tends to get annoying after a while.

Luckily I found a BRAND NEW dash with FREE SHIPPING on ebay for $50. After I got the dash, I was disappointed to find a hole was punchured in the glove box door during the shipping. I contacted the seller and he filled a claim with UPS. He got money back, and mailed me a check for the full purchase price. I got a brand new dash for $0.00.

So here is the wrinkle in the dash.

Here is how my car was this afternoon. Everything is gutted. If you are wondering why the floor is gloss black, its because I painted it with POR-15 a couple years ago to stop the rust that was forming.

Everything is starting to go back together now. New dash is in place, just working on wiring now... ran out of daylight.

If you are wondering why so much of the interior is missing just for a dash swap, its because I'm also working on a few other mods. I am adding a OEM 12-disc CD changer, 04 XM radio and some other stuff not being mentioned yet.
