Much appreciated... I've probably spent close to what I originally paid for the car (though I got her cheap by local standards). I have to say though, much of my own inspiration came from Ocracoke's project, among  others, and frankly without the help of this forum I would never have had the inspiration or information to retrofit so much stuff.

Although it all looks standard; she came out of the factory with the most basic package, and now she has a really nice level of optional extras that make all the difference for a 17 year old car in 2021.

I'm proud of my lil project 454. All I really want now is an android HU, but that can wait a little while longer....

Aww, thanks! Glad my ramblings inspired someone. ;) Well done on your car, I know it's been a bit of a labour of love.

Oh absolutely! I was reading your thread from day one... I missed the MF wheel I had on a previous car and as soon as I saw how you retrofitted yours with the dual display, I had to have it.

It only took me 2 years to gather the parts hehe... and without the help of other forum members who sold me a few of those essential parts, it might never have happened either...

It's definitely been a labour of love, especially with the rotten cooling system I inherited  >:( - I often questioned if I was throwing good money after bad, but at the end of the day it's either fix it or scrap it, and I couldn't bring myself to send Fifi off to the junkyard... at least I know all her faults now.
