Some old car that will never be low enough - 2002 content

[Simply Classy]

Can't believe I've missed this thing! Car looks gorgeous from day one, love the steering wheel and wheels. I am actually a really big fan of this car and I've only just seen this!

Keep up the good work man! Looking forward to more of this thing!

Decided to build a trunk floor for the 2002, first off was cutting out the back board which was a pain, next up is mocking up the wood flooring and getting that cut.



Since I am still waiting on bolts for my back bumper, I decided to repaint the brackets since I had them off




Also did some trading for a early trunk since mine has the late one with the trunk badge which it shouldn't have plus its straighter than mine.

Not a huge update but picked up an old blaupunkt head unit just for looks since I still have my kicker set up, hopefully tackle the console revamp this winter.



Also ordered two new bumper bolts which were special order so it's still in pieces lol, old car struggles

Nice! I like where this is going.

Decided to take apart the back end of my car, needed to correct my lenses since they were pointed in the wrong direction. Also decided to remove the bumper guards and polish it up some.

Well I've been slacking (well actually moving) but the 2002 has a new home and now sits in a garage. Replaced my slave cylinder but it has started leaking again just before the temp dropped. Have some black rear door cards coming to me soon since my are blue and then something will be done about the back seat. Also going to be making some custom oh shit handles to break up all the black that is in the car. The Apache's are still sitting in the garage waiting to get redone, along with steelies to use for "winter wheels" even though really they will be sitting in the garage wheels lol.

Also some cool news is that the 2002 made it on Petrolicious under their reader rides which was a total surprise... now to work on getting some struts to get lower... gotta get dem scene points haha

Well last weekend I undertook a task that my dad and I have been talking about for months.... swapping in a new dash. My dash had multiple cracks and was a dash mat on it plus it was home to a cluster that had 2 of its 3 gauges not work... also to a cracked glove box.

First off... swapping dashes sucks lol, second off a huge thanks to my dad for refurb'ing the heater box, he has way more patience than me... plus who needs heat lol.

I will admit that it didn't look too bad and I noticed most of it just because I've spent hours behind the wheel.

The job was going to involve:
Installed a refurbished heater box, with boiled out core
Install a 3 Piece Euro dash out of an imported 1970 2002
Install a "silver dollar" cluster out of an early 2002
Install a crack free glove box

Also wanted to redo the center console... its not done yet and honestly I'm still thinking on how to do it lol but I do have a major part of it which was hiding the controller for my stereo.

Now on to pretty pretty pics... and no... its still not lowered.. lol

The after pic of the install, I plan on getting more pics soon... I was running out of daylight lol



Also my way of hiding my controller

Well progress was made on the VC tonight, leaving it kinda rough as I don't really want stuff wanting all new on a 40 yr old car... I know I'm weird lol. Gotta touch up a couple places but it will do
