Seatbelts rebuilt with new webbing and working on the doorcards. Also put in rear side markers and removed the vampire connectors and the trailer wiring harness that was hanging in there.

Doors are mostly done. For now at least. Its been a long time since I made door cards and I went at it very differently this time so I will see how I like it later. At the moment they are easy to make so I can change it later. I got the dome light working and added a passenger side trigger switch. Tested the blower for the heater and it works, got the shifter area sealed in and took it on a little drive just out side the neighborhood and then decided to come back and set the timing... which helped a good bit on power. I have about 8 gallons of fuel in the tank but it seems to think i am at about 1/8th of a tank and also seems to think the engine is never getting up to temp, which I feel pretty confident it is. So i might have a ground issue with the cluster or the sending unit isn't reading right and temp unit is bad..... which could be since it is the original.

I noticed the turn signal says Toyota in the molding and seems like it's in great shape...is it an original Toyota part that survived all this time?

One was broken and one was good still but I replaced them both so they would match. The lenses are still available from toyota and were about 10 dollars each. Interestingly enough they are cheaper than after market ones I could find on ebay.
