I am planning on finally installing my turbo intake manifold, not much else with the Cruiser.
Otherwise I will be doing a bunch of work on both of my wifes trucks...

I want to paint my factory gray wheels to match my body color, cool vanilla. Just haven't found the time to do it. Will be an all weekend job. I did get the interior done though. Will try and post a pic.

If i can source the parts this year, switching over to manual so i can move forward on bigger turbo and a few goodies in the engine. Allready got some of the turbo parts and really itching to install it but i know my auto would go bye bye quickly..so, its a waiting game for now.

Heres the interior painting : Is that just an overlay ontop of the gauge cluster or is it a custom gauge set? Im looking for a black face/white numbers for the GT and only have found blackcat customs @ $109.00 Everyone else has the regular 120mph set. |

Yes Rick it was a LOT of work. The cool vanilla cars did not have the body color for the gauge surround or the airbag cover. It was a pewter / silver color. I didn't really want to get into removing the airbag cover so I found a set of the molded covers on-line in the burlwood pattern, sanded them down, primed and painted them vanilla. Then they just mounted over the stock pieces with good ole' 3M tape. Of course the center console I just pulled out and painted. I also did the shifter surround and shifter ball.

Yes it's just a flame static cling overlay from "Streamline Design"

Forgot to mention, also painted the 4 posts in the steering wheel. That was a job, hand painted it with a touch up bottle of paint from the dealership with the included brush. I had to be a contortionist to get around on the back side.

I forgot to take photos of the interior before I painted , stupid me. But I did find a stock photo on-line that's the exact color of when i first had my car before painting. It shows more of what all I painted to see the before and after.  |
