Greetings!

Thanks for all of the information I have received on the forum. I have changed my fluids, spark plugs and wires, installed new visors, fixed the HVAC display, fixed my telescoping wheel, added bumper fangs, replaced the horns, and added an amp and new speakers. I am MOST PROUD OF THE NEW SEAT COVERS. Here are a few pics: /

Thanks for the comments, guys! The seats are all leather purchased from an ebay vendor. I also added all new foam. They were a little stiff, but they settled in pretty good.
