Default 77 interior refresh

bought my 77 with a fair number of new in box parts.
I'm new to interior repairs of this sort.
Some
pics of the process.



Done for now




Cresent shapped block off plates needed to be reattached.




New speaker mounted in bracket. I was only able to reach the passenger side. Drivers will come later.



New shift boot going in

definitely some cheesy wiring around the stereo/ cig lighter area. Most other wiring seems continuous.
I have slowly corrected several small faults to get the headlight warning buzzer, dome light, electric antenna and blower fan working properly. My last big electrical challenges are restoring the horn and hazard flasher to operating condition.

I cut the 'X' out of the front speaker mount so it does not effect the type of speaker you have chosen to use.

I will say that hopefully you plan on installing all switches, A/C control,ash tray door,and shifter boot back into your new shift plate BEFORE you go to install it. The only one oyu will installed when you get it in is the cigarette lighter housing and GROUND wire to it.
