    It's been a while since I posted any progress. I had a fair amount of time of for the Holidays and managed to get quite a lot time on the car. Lets see where to start.

    I got the power steering leak fixed. fired it up every thing seemed good the the p/s pump was making noise figured it was air bleeding out then it seized freed up and suddenly I had metallic p/s fluid. some where I metal burr got in the system and made a mess. ugg...  :eek4: So everything got flushed and started over. Not sure if the pump will survive but its working now and quiet.  :icon16:

    The fast program that seemed so great isn't. As soon as it goes closed loop it ran very lean.  ???after checking and double checking I realized VE tables aren't even close. After some more hours and making a new map and a lot of little program changes. it really does run great! At least at idle.  :) still not ready to move. The wifes been busy so no video yet but soon I hope!

    The trans is getting much closer. I got the shifter worked out and The PCS trans computer understanding its new home.   :lol: It talking to the XFI and in therory the trans tables are worked out. It knows what gear its in. triggers the back ups and neutral safety switch. It does drop into gear and wants to move on its own power! But I've got a lot of other things to do before it moves.

    Like glass. I used my Christmas bonus and got the glass tinted But it's not yet installed ( where does the time go?)

    And a dash. I spent a lot of my time working on the dash and cluster. I'm modifying the dash. I took out the ash tray and opened up the opening all the was to the glove box. Making a large motorized door. With it closed it looks like you just removed the ash tray all nice and smooth. But it will rotate 120 deg to show a video monitor.  It will make more sense in pics ( that I don't have yet) :picture:

    The instrument cluster is finally done ( just need a dash to put it in.) Came out really nice I am every happy with how it turned out. All most worth the number of hours it took to make. I do have pics of that!  :rofl:

    Nice to hear things are talking to each other!  It's interesting that we have the same ideas sometimes.  I was going to make a slid out shelf in the dash close to or in the same location as the ash tray for a small TFT monitor.  I was just going  to permanently install the computer that I will use for fuel injection/trans tuning.  :thumbsup:

    Nice guage cluster.  Great build - I'm really looking forward to the videos of it running.

    You can post photos anytime you want - just get an online photo-hosting account at Photobucket or Imageshack or some other site and you'll never have to worry about the uploader being full or your photos disappearing again.  It's a little more work, but worth in the end because you can post pics in between text captions.

    Update time. Got the windshield in after getting a second piece of glass! I got a whole set from AMD in clear so I could tint them with out the green cast. But wasn't sure I would like the windshield clear or not. Turns out it had an ugly gouge in it. So I got a PPG factory tint windshield looks way better anyway.

    A note on the differences between AMD and PPG AMD made in Taiwan and very thick and heavy( factory? ) PPG is thinner and lighter. Its also 1/4" bigger fits tighter in the hole. Also the glass is polished better. It's made in Mexico. ( just FYI )

    The rear glass is in also. polished all the trim and reinstalled it. Not exciting but it sure makes the car look a lot more done.

    The dash in in the car now. The video door came out cool one touch open and close. ( motorized)

    Added dash speakers covered with speaker cloth  and covered the center to match. put the alarm LED and sun load sensor in the center speaker grill.

    started working on the console now. seems nothing fits anymore ha ha Want it to have the factory look.

    re-glued the rear quarter glass. painted the trim black so it will disappear with the tint.
