Default Today's Project

Just finished up mounting and wiring my gauges which I relocated to the vents from the pillar. The only thing left to do is hook up the Oil Pressure sender which I'll do this week. I'm waiting on a carpet to come in from stock interiors then the interior should be back together.

Thanks to camaroboricua for the Fernco coupler idea he found at Home Depot .

Looks great, Im glad the idea helped someone else save a few bucks also. Did you use the same coupler for the vent by the door? I noticed that vent is slightly bigger when I was doing mine.

Thanks man! Yeah I just used the same for the 4 of them. The coupler worked out great. It was more of a pain to get the vents out than it was to do anything else but it was alright.
