i waited till i actually started getting some stuff done before starting my thread, its a very slow process as funds are very low for getting stuff done the whole pay to play thing means alot of waiting for the play part here but heres what it started like, so far i had a ton of mechanical work done no real pictures for that but i started with new wheel bearing on all four corners, then a new oil pan gasket, valve cover gasket and a timing kit, followed by new front and rear struts to hold me over while i save up for coilovers.
my project isnt an over ambitious one, the car will look mainly stock but I want it to look and feel like a new car




how it looked when i bought her

the only major cosmetic damage

I didnt like the chrome rims and couldnt find the center caps for them so i picked up a set of 7gc 16" rims


much cleaner look with the 7gc rims and certaqinly a smoother ride, wheel wells are filled out better
you can just sorta make out that the back seat flap that connects to the top isnt attached getting that taken care of when the seats get recovered


seats are currently in the shop being recovered should of vacuumed before shooting the pic but i was lazy today

just dropped off this at the upholstery shop to be embroidered in the front seats

tablet install on the dash was the easiest part grab a black crystal hard case off of ebay and notch the top left and right corners out so its easy to drop the tablet in and pull it out. then grab some automotive grade double sided tape like used on exterior trim pieces and mount the crystal case over the double din opening. you now have a perfectly minimalistic nexus 7 dock.

inside the dash: pick up a lighter socket adapter with at least 2 usb power ports and 2 accessory 12v ports chop the plug in part and hardwire it to power and ground on an accessory switched hot. make sure you use a power noise filter on this. then pick up a usb bluetooth audio gateway, a nexus 7 charger, a usb extension that will reach to the center armrest (for phone charging), a 12v accessory extension to the center armrest , 2 stereo line noise filters and lastly a line level volume potentiometer to install where the cig lighter was for volume control.



sorry for the crude schematic but it was easer then trying to type how i hooked it up... and sorry for not putting power to the front amp in the schematic it obviously needs power too doh!

ui screenshot of how i have my tablet configured in the car
