I might hook the power up to the heated seats. I will need to figure out how and where to install a reastat to control the temperature for each seat. I was just glad to get the 6 way adjustment and lumbar support working.

Finally got the windows tinted and new wheels and tires on. It was the wrong time of day to take pictures so I will try and get some better ones in the next day or two. Feels good to be able to drive it!

Burb looks great! I really like the stance. I read the part about 2" dropped springs in the front but missed how much you dropped the rear. How does it ride with the shorter springs in the front?

what did you use to make your steering wheel black and shiny like it is?

The front springs are the CPP 2" drop and the ride is fine. Yesterday I swapped my wheels and tires for set of American Racing 17" rims and 245/70/17" tires. These really fill up the wheel well and I like them much better. I need to put some tire black on the tires then the rims should really pop. I left the stock springs in the back. The back is 1" higher than the front. Not radical but gives it a little rake.

The steering wheel is a Z-28 cord wrapped steering wheel. I'm not sure what was put on it to make shiny like that. That is how I got it.

Thanks for all the compliments. I'm getting lots of looks when driving it.

My speedometer is way off now that I have a 3:08 rear end and these larger tires. I talked with a few transmission shops in town about changing the speedometer gearing. They all told me these parts were hard to find. I came home and searched the internet and found TCI. Gave them a call and all the specs. They had all the parts I needed for $50 delivered. Now I just need to install them.

It's a bitter sweet day. The first guy who came to the house to see it bought it. Oh well I had some fun and got to meet some really great guys on this website.
