Looking great Charles and good progress too.

As I continue to drive mine I find myself thinking that perhaps a repaint and sound deadening is higher priority than many other things

After 30+ years around jet engines, I can't hear myself pass gas so soundproofing isn't very important to me.

 

[Gun Runner 5]

I think you are missing something ... A turbo perhaps



Good catch....
With some of the dash removed for the radio installation it's easier to install the gauges now than repeat the process later.

 

[Gun Runner 5]

The turbo and exhaust projects are tentatively planned for early 2016. Perhaps sooner if I can convince my youngest daughter to skip college.

Unlike the rest of the Cruiser, my bumper, if you can call this a bumper, has no doubt lived a rough life. I assume the folks in Japan don't drive any better than those in Southern Georgia.

WIRES EVERYWHERE....
In addition to the radio that doesn't seen to work in North America, there is a pop out video screen that also doesn't seem to work. There were 4 small antennas mounted in the 4 corners of the interior (have no idea why) and in addition there are numerous wires above and below the carpet. All of these wires will be removed once it determined that they are no longer powered or important. ( don't want to inadvertently activate the ejection seat).
Moral of the story ..... When you install electronic do-dads in your Cruiser, draw a schematic on a napkin and stick it in the glovebox.

The wires in the corners are for the TV.

I hope they were watching Fox News. (Fair & Balanced)

You have a 50 /50 chance of also having a DVDs player.... But it will only play Japan region DVD's

Yep, has one of those also. The back has curtains to enhance the movie watching experience.

If you don't have time to buy gold or silver you may want to invest in this instead. It's almost as precious.

Goodies on the front porch ...... Thanks, Onur

Gotta love those trinkets!

 

[Gun Runner 5]

Gotta love those trinkets!

Now I just need a steady hand and some white paint.

 

[eman375]

Good luck. I lost a steady hand a long time ago so I don't go anywhere near paint...

 

[Gun Runner 5]

After the third beer I could be a brain surgeon assuming I don't fall asleep or have to go to the bathroom.

 

[eman375]

Impressive. I'll bet if you down a six pack you could fly a commercial airliner! :-D

 

[Gun Runner 5]

Ordered 4 of this style of rocker switches.

Unlike the HJ75 which has a variety of switches, I want some uniformity in this Cruiser.

 

[eman375]

Nice. Doing it justice and doing it up right.

Although the comments from the peanut gallery would lead you to believe otherwise, I plan to keep this one.
