Got a piece of dash spliced in where some idiot had hacked it for an aftermarket radio. Got a factory radio wired up and working. Swapped out cluster panel and wired a factory clock. Cleaned a used cluster bezel up, took all the peel and stick brushed aluminum off.

Basically got the interior all put back together and wanted to drive it home. Had put a piece of cardboard under the engine area to make sure we stopped the oil leak (sending unit). It looked nice and dry under there. But.... under the rear end was a huge puddle... Seems my pinion seal is shot. Guess what I'm doing next weekend.
