Default Half way through

Well maybe 60%, I sweated my a** off yesterday in my garage pulling my seats and installing the lap belt mounts, not hard but no fun for sure.
So trying to gather the steam to begin removing my dash to install the HUD projector and Harlin shift light today was tough to say the least, But after 4 hours, I have completely tore the car interior (dash) out, installed and ran wiring for the shift light and the HUD, Tested everything
Cut the dash and installed the HUD bezel (glue drying overnight) and cleaned up my mess.
Now tomorrow all I have to do is reassemble the dash and install remaining items, that should go pretty quick or at least quicker than taking it apart.
All the info for this work was taken directly from this forum and I will say installing the shift light was much easier since the dash was out, hooking the shift light sensor wire directly to the gauge harness was the way to go, (white wire A17) in the plug. It was really cool when everything worked correctly.
Next weekend I'm not doing nothing

Yeah it's back together, but my man my garage is a wreck
What a pain is *** this was, I admit I'm happy to have the mods but man this was a job, I think it would be much easier the 2nd time.
I definitly recommend having a helper with this job and waiting till its not 100 outside to do it, it took me 20 minutes to clean my sweat off of everything.
If anyone ever needs some help give me a yell I would be glad to walk anyone through this should an issue arise.
