Wow, add that to my list of didn't know still available and that I should get right now. Very nice, thanks for posting the part numbers.
Probably not everyone's cup of tea but I turned my glove box door into a patch panel. The previous owner had some Oakley decals stuck on there and there was still an outline of them left after I cleaned off the residue so the door wasn't in pristine shape anyways. Also if anyone can id that speaker let me know. They're terrible and I'm looking for replacements. Some kind of Kenwoods
because the inside two open and close with the mixer but the outside two dont.
so with this mod you can have the outside two on while the inside two are off, i dont get the need for that, but its nice to have options.
Upgraded factory fog lights to LED (no more of those yellow-ish bulbs). 
I drive alone probably 98% of the time so my goal was to only have the two vents facing me open and the other two closed.
I know Scheel Mann is pretty much the go-to brand for seat replacement but does anyone have any experience with these Recaros? I like the idea of a cooling and more adjustable seat.

Cordura seat covers in coyote to preserve the factory vinyl/rubber seats. These also don't stick to your skin in the desert heat when your passengers are wearing bikinis.
Is that a Panasonic double DIN? I haven’t seen one of those in years! Would love to see more photos and more about it, if you’re willing to share
Nice, where from or self sewn?

Yeah it is a Panasonic stereo. It came in this cruiser when it came over from Japan. It seemed like it was a big deal back then. Posted a few pics before but this is the first time I took a pic of the booklet and remote control that came with it.
Sadly it doesn’t really work as a radio here (different range I guess) and I don’t have mini discs to try out that part of it but it does play CDs.
Here is a YouTube video of one in operation
Edit: I realized my clocks are off lol. I never pay attention to those clocks. Had my battery disconnected awhile back while doing some electrical work. Gotta fix that.

That thing is so Pure Sound Style! @Engineer8000 (Cape Fear Electronics) may be able to help get your radio so it can tune to usable North American frequencies. In any case he would be a good resource if it ever needed to be repaired. Mad Skilz and has a wicked ET shop

Those VU meters are so rad! It was and still is a big deal, I know of a few sellers on ebay that will charge top dollar whenever one falls into their hands. You can get a frequency expander for quite cheap on Amazon so you can use that stereo to listen to US Frequencies:

Hope you enjoy your rig! That's possibly the nicest stereo I've seen on a 70 series so far!
Thank you.
I just can't bring myself to remove it although a new unit with navigation, bluetooth, and phone connectivity would be nice. Our smartphones pretty much do everything we need these days.

Thank you for the lead. I would LOVE to get it to read US FM frequencies.
