Another project overshadowed the sound install, so it is not complete right now. Unfortunately, it won't be completed until after the holidays. So, in light of this, I thought to post a bit about where things stand.
The engine is doing very well! Many hoses are replaced with the pool hoses and many parts are powder coated raspberry pink. More to be powder coated next year. The only major upgrade to the engine was a blow off valve. Minor upgrades include the hoses and the tower strut bar.
The wheel well is complete. Including new rims, pink calipers and painted wells. This does not include the planned lowering of the car.
White reflectors have been installed as well. We think we're going to stick with the OEM headlights. They are black, after all.
The screen install is complete. It's a 7" screen and works beautifully. The DVD player is in the glove compartment, and recent plan changes with change this location.
The fall and center console install is on hold, as is the sound install. Racing seats have arrived, however, new carpet must be purchased prior to installation. This is due to the complexity of a seat install.
DreamCast illumination has been completed. However, the power port has broken off and a new system was purchased in order to replace the broken piece. Good news, the top will pop right off the old system and onto the new system, taking the lighting with it! Also, the new system (not sure why) runs quite a bit cooler.
A new Premier headunit has been installed, and it is loved! After the holidays, the Diamond speaker system and amp will be installed, giving the Premier headunit justice.
The equivalent of $10,000 has been spent on the car since last January, and she's just about ready for the next show season. This includes $4,000 for the sound install- I had quotes from all the local shops to do it and well, this was the average price for something the team could do ourselves.
All in all, it's been a great year with lots of progress. I sincerely hope to see all those who follow this blog in the upcoming shows! Be sure to say hello!!!
