What Did You Do with Your 80 This Weekend?

Damn… so many pics on my iPhone, but they’re supposedly the wrong file type.

I like that stitched leather shifter. Been wanting to swap mine out. Where did you end up finding that?

I got mine from cruiserparts.net. They outsource their work, so it’s pricey. But, the quality is high.

I've done quite a bit recently.... Not necessarily all this last weekend. What I did do this weekend was drain/flush the radiator and replace the thermostat and hoses. I had been having all manner of wild temp swings, new thermostat fixed it all right up.

Last weekend, pulled the rtt and custom roof rack and replaced with a new Prinsu rack. No more rtt! MPG and noise (mostly the noise!) have gotten better.

Few weeks back, the crew at Higgy's replaced some tired OME medium heavy springs, with a fresh set of Dobinsons and Delta Vehicle System caster correction radius arms. Drives straight now!

Just ordered a ton of electrical supplies to start the wiring project for the rear 1/4 panel as well as doing a separate power source for add-ons in the front of the LC.

Still not sure where I will mount the Blue Sea six fuse panel for the front. I was thinking under the passenger seat but for easy of installation and replacing fuses doe not make sense. So I am debating on the center console or willing to take suggestions.

Would love the @Delta VS center console but not in the budget right now, in the future yes.

Might not be the ideal spot but I have mine on the driver side behind the pedals.

Pic is from my old set up, new one is in a bracket together with the 120amp relay and I cleaned the the wires a bit. But same location. No interference

My foot would be on that all the time

Yeah, I was scared that that would be the case, but it hasnt happened to me yet. Its been about 3yrs now

Mine needs some attention.

More pics. Having trouble uploading…

That is a very very clean car-play install. Good work.
Likewise with the new leather gear shifter. Interior is looking in excellent condition!

5 tire rotation and oil change. 100 pumps of grease into knuckles. They are clicking on tight turns in town.
I use Carhartt work pants with knee pads and lie on a camping mat. Helps me wrench as I get older!

Got some things checked off of my interior refresh checklist:

- New leather steering wheel (original is non leather but in great shape)
- New leather shifter (original is non leather but in great shape)
- New gauge cluster housing (the old clear lens was hazy/cloudy)
- New bulbs (OEM) in gauge cluster and HVAC control
- New center vents (mine were broken)
- New PRNDL strip (mine was a little hazy — bugged me)
- JDM copy of manual shift lock override button
- Installed Sony XAV-AX4000 stereo

Up next:
- Replacement leather for manual leather seats
- Replacement leather console cover

I need to replace a couple of my vents (registers) too. I have the replacement registers, but can't figure out how to take the dash apart... LOL

If you have a ‘91-‘94, it’s not for the faint of heart. But, if I can do it, most everyone else can, too!

The guage cluster is a simple 2 minute fix with a micro fiber towel and Maguire’s PlastiX. Polish. If you really want to make it immaculate find a Dremel Scrubber. It’s the ideal RPMs to do plastic polishing on clear lenses and turn signals, etc.

This location has worked out well for me. Left of the brake pedal attached to the abs box. Fuses are accessible.

Um, isn't this where your Window Rocket should be? I can say that because I have one and it's amazing!

It is indeed.
