Default Getting Closer!!! Dash almost done>>

All that is left is to install the Passenger seat, Passenger side hush panel and wire the speakers to the amp. Oh yeah, I also have to mount the ALDL connector

yes, Everything except the ABS unit. I kind of expected that though. The ABS ECM is drastically different from 89 to 90 and 91. I am going to work that out at a later date. Otherwise, everything is working.

ZBRA, I got the DIN kit from someone on the forum DAVE84/76 or something. I am not very happy with the way the radio looks but it will have to do for now. I will try to get more pictures of it.

That 89 Steering wheel is brand new.. I am not planning on replacing it yet. If I do I think a nice Momo or something. I don't want a 90-96 wheel I don't care for the airbag. I still have the Telescopic feature I really don't want to give up yet.

Does it rattle uncontrollably?
not sure yet. I have not driven it since I am not completely done and I need to get the CCM programmed. It may rattle but I will track them down and fix them

Looks nice!

Yes this car was once an Auto D36 car with the 3.07. I swapped the ZF6 and D44 w/3.45 in Nov/Dec of 1996

Well it is a 1991 ZR1 Dash subframe and wiring :D. 1992 A/C vents and console trim. 1994+ cluster, AC unit, and DIC.
1991 ZR1 Door panels with 1994+_ controls.. I like the white lettering over the orange/yellow


OVERALL: I think the dash is solid, I mounted it as cloe to factory as I could. there were some minor changes. I think if anything is gonna rattle or squeak it is going to be the glove box. everything else seems solid
