A few small victories today - reattached my rear view mirror and the temp and compass work like a charm!
I also pulled my instrument cluster for a couple of things - first, I painted the inside frame white to increase the lighting
and added some new bulbs
I mixed and matched some gauges to make up this instrument cluster, and I noticed that some of the needles were faded and didn't match, so I figured that it was a good enough time to do somthing about it. Here's a comparison:
The speedo was the most vibrant of the oranges. I went to the local hobby store and used that to match the closest orange I could find.
