After messing with my interior lighting, fixing the shorted out dome light, corroded door switches, and blown dash lights, I got a renewed sense of purpose with my car. Funny, after all I've done, from all OEM suspention components, new transmission, ect., fixing the lights seemed to give me the boost I needed to keep working on my car. Now the fun stuff: power windows, refreshed engine, air conditioning, Corbeau Sports seats, and Eibach springs. I hope I'll get all this done, along with the paint, by next year's Shootout. And maybe some little extras under the hood (once my friend gets my rough sketches to his machine shop buddies). :P

Right now, almost all the clearcoat is off. Want to wait alittle before taking some pics. Maybe a couple of interior pics in a couple of weeks. Keeping this one alive has been costly, easily in the $10k range, including the car, but so worth it.:)

It's amazing how little things like that can renew the love for a car.

IT's true, the smallest things can make the biggest difference. ...Probably because we're inside the car more. On top of that, I went to Radioshack and picked up some #7219 Micro Lamps and even got my hazards and rear defrost lights to work. :) I got spare switches off of Tuxdreamerx and noticed some of the micro lights didn't use solder, they just had the wires wrapped around the base to secure the bulb. Five minute fix and now everything works!!!
