1989 Updates - Large Pics: stereo, radar, leather, etc
Project is still in progress, but I stole the car away from the shop so I could enjoy it for a few weekends. Car is filthy and has some missing parts still but everything is coming along nicely.
New head unit. Center console had to be custom fabricated to hold a stereo this large. Screen is 8" diagonally. It connects to my phone to stream Pandora, mp3s, and of course phone calls. The GPS is a step up from the Garmin I had.
New carpet. Changed from beige to black. Added the Roadkill sound deadener and embroidered floor mats as well. A leather shifter cover will be added to the parking brake as soon as it comes in from Redline Goods.
Console has a padded leather cover from Redline Goods. Rather than use their elastic I had the leather tucked in.
Door panels were custom upholstered in leather. JL 6.5inch door speakers.
New paint and emblems. Also added a backup camera. The long bar is the laser shifter that is part of the integrated Passport 9500ci radar system.
Engine is now a 383 stroker. TPIS Big Mouth Intake, ported plenum, TBK ThrottleBody, SLP Runners, Edlebrock Water Pump, Melrose Headers, Pro-Filer Heads, Comp Cam, Forged pistons, Scorpion rockers, makes a hell of a noise.
3" exhaust back to the Magnaflow mufflers
**** Auto dimming mirror with lights, compass, and temp. Just in front of the defrost vent you can see a small circle. That's the sensor for the automatic lights. Tweeters for the stereo were installed in the dash speaker locations.
HomeLink Garage Opener added to visor.
Passenger Panel with switches for the back lighting and antenna lock out
Stock wheels polished.
Integrated Radar Escort 9500ci with Escort Live! service. Interior center panel painted body color of the car. Two of the original four vents were used. They were opened up to move more air to compensate for the missing pair.
Seats reupholstered by CorvetteAmerica with highlight stitching and embroidered emblem.
Short throw shifter from ZR51 Performance with new **** from Corvette America and shift boot from Redline Goods. Switches for the heated seats can be seen as well as the shifter panel which was painted the body color of the car.
JL Crossovers are seen on the other side of the grill. The grill pattern is repeated in the sub box and at each speaker location. The JL HD900/5 Amp is on the left and the JL 13TW5-3 sub on the right. The box extends to the edge of the rear compartments so they can still be used. Rear speakers are JL C2690tx C2 Series.
