The center piece of Skiddy's bra came in today! I snuck a preview to my buddy and he doesn't think it's for a Wagon, but I think it looks cool! I just need to get it to sit a little tighter in a few spots. .






Now that I'm looking at the pics, it just looks like i need to "roll" the material down at the corners. Can't see the forest thru the trees! Must have had my blinders on! I'll do that before I finish tucking all my new electronics into final place.

My other gauge cluster came in too. looks like I'm going to have another project lined up! That's good, because I wasn't able to get to that other wagon and raid it for parts yet.

When my schedule lines up with the Wagon guy's, my little list has changed. I broke the driver's door lock handle and kinda plastic welded it with my soldering iron for now. I want all 4 of his. I don't want the dome light anymore, I'm going to take my chances on ebay and look for one from an older accord or something with driver/passenger lights as well as the dome light. Also want the plastic handle thingies to flip the rear seats down, mine were broken from day one!

Time and money. It seems I'm only allowed one or the other. That's life, but I've got Skiddy!
That said, I don't think I'm going to try and go turbo this summer. Instead, I think I should do the MPFI conversion and fight all the fight involved with that before making it even more complicated with a turbo. That will give me more time to do it as right as I can...

Thanks,
Victor
