Default My interior about done! (pics)

Ok, more pictures, got some work done today. The interior is about finshed, just waiting on the floor mats and come cleaning. Just wanted every one to see the interior completely in. Wanted to go to ride but the transmission will not shift. I serviced it and checked the govener and every thing looked fine, but still no shift. It seems to be hung in 2nd except when you downshift to 1st. I plan to find me a good transmission shop if I can afford it, or just pull it out and have it rebuilt. Anyway, here are some pictrures for you enjoyment!

The interior, from the passenger side..proud of my new steering wheel!

New door panels, they are a job to get right, with all the chrome from the old ones installed..

From the drivers side, I have to put my wires under the dash for the courtesy light and the flasher..

If they do, I plant to suck it up and take it out myself, get it rebuilt and put it back with a hand full of Motrin! I plant to shop around..

What brand radio is that? Looks aftermarket, but looks like it fits without cutting.

It came with the car.I haven't been able to figure out what brand it is. It still works, so I figured I can plug my cassette adapter in an listen to the IPod or XM. Wish I could tell you, but there is no label on it..thanks for looking!
