Came out pretty good for a rattle can job. I still have to buff it out and wax after it cures some more.

Finished product:

 

i like the stock lights and also like the chrome rims.

 

Thanks. I've got the chrome and a set of black ones. I change them out every so often just to have a different look.

 

This weekend I tackle changing out the turn signal switch and fixing my hazard flashers, changing out upper ball joints and installing a strut brace. Got me all the proper tools to pull the wheel and a lockplate compressor tool. Will post up a DIY if anyone is interested.

 

Where did you get the dash panel from?

 

Ebay. Cheapest I could find. $280.

 

Get this, the junkyard here wants $250 for a used one

I'll repair mine if i ever get the damn thing to release near the windshield (pulled the hell out of it and it still wont come off).

 

I got one from a pull a part here for $10, it was in pieces and I tried to glue it back and cover it but it just came apart after a few weeks.

 

So nice to have a functioning trip meter again, and hazard flashers...turn signals, cruise, high beams....Not a bad job. Here's a few pics:

Removing the steering wheel:


Faulty turn signal switch:


Picked up a functioning odometer/trip meter out of a junkyard. Swapped the mileage part of mine with the mileage one on the donor odometer so I would have the same miles....works like a champ.

 

I need to do this to mine also, just don't have the free time to do it .
