Mind sharing how you ran your wire from the hatch back to the body? I've got a light I'm interested in mounting up but want to be sure to route the wire in a way that doesn't end up with it getting pinched.

Corebau sport seats with cloth centers. They're good but for the money, I probably would have rebuilt the original ones having now experienced how good the OE seats can be with new foam and leather.
Corbeau Sport Seat - review and pics
Over the years, I've always thought that the seats stood as one of the single greatest areas that could be improved in the 80, in terms of making it a more comfortable daily driver or long distance truck. This is not to say that it doesn't do these things well compared to similar platforms. In...

I got out and did a little exploring. Nothing too technical but still fun.
I ran it through the top left conduit that's goign to the Hatch. Ran it through with some bailing wire covered it grease to pull it through easier. Then fished it through and tucked it under the weather stripping for the lights on the glass.
Nice, so the 80 can finally have some torque!?
No, the plug communicates with the car to set charge rate, timing, etc.
What lights are those? I like choice of blinding bright or soft amber.
Drove all my cruisers over the last 2 weeks. Found this cool spot today. General Lee camped here so that’s kinda cool. Walked in his footsteps.. Can you see the cruiser?

Scored some replacement speakers for the LX. I was using the fader because the front ones only made static sounds. The back doors sounded real tinny, but adjusting the bass helped a little. Replacing the speakers in all the doors wasn't bad at all, except I broke one of the little triangle thingies
Anyway, $35 for the front doors and $25 for the back doors, and I am in audio heaven. I know it's not a great system, but it sounds a hell of a lot better and louder than it did before.
I really wasn't prepared for just how bad the old speakers looked.

^^ Mine also looked like that. I too broke the triangle cover, but over the passenger side mirror. lol

I have rebuilt OE seats and they are really good but I really wish I had a armrest
Finished up with the knuckle rebuilds, brifield replacements and tie rod replacements. Final piece came in today. Just finished the installation. Go tomorrow for an alignment.

Looking good. You’ll want to toss some paint on those 555 tre’s or they will rust up pretty fast.
Will do! Thanks for the tip!

I was changing out my front diff fluid when i noticed this pathway air has when it hits the radiator.
So air coming into the grill can hit the radiator and go straight down, instead if through.
So i made a "skid" plate to protect the paper clip and force air. It's street sign thick aluminum.

Good idea, however, the "paperclip" is the cooler for the power steering and relies on airflow past it to keep the fluid cool.
Your cool guard won't allow your PS fluid to be..............less warm.
But damn! That bumper looks great!
Good thing you didn't have a damage multiplier on!
See all the positivity that can come from this minor setback?!?!?!?!?!?!
