We have been doing some inside rainy day stuff. Rebuilt the passenger wing window and both kick panel vents. Looking for a drivers wing window i broke the post off the bottom trying to remove the nut oops.

Rebuilt the gauge cluster, worked on cutting bigger hole for the fuse panel and installed the under dash insulation.
