A big thanks to Tubbie, for getting a few parts for me:
Brake line shield:

And a TEMS unit. I just wanted the housing so that I could make a clean-looking switch unit out of it.

1/8" plastic sheet.

And done. Just waiting on two switches to arrive.

Very nice, you've definitely put a lot of work into it. It should be great when you are done. What switches are you going to put on the TEMS panel?

Got a couple new parts today.
New oem shroud, and new oem fan(yes, it is the 7 blade).

Also, I got a baffled VMS catch can. It's about 1 1/4" smaller in diameter than my previous can, and so it will fit along side my
power steering resevoir, up behind the passenger headlight. The pliers are in the pic to give scale.

Just a few new parts in lately...

Started mounting the PLX's, and have begun the wiring.

Also, got the coils in for the "morganson" COP setup. Still waiting for someone to come up with a mounting plate. If necessary, i'll make one myself.

Went to check an '89 at the junkyard today, hoping for a good dash in my color.
Welp...the interior WAS my color...but it was all gone. EVerything. The only way I knew it was a maroon interior, was because the inner door handles were still in it, lol.
But it wasn't a total loss; Got the entire molding set for $20, only two broken tabs to replace.

Also grabbed the combination switch from it. Why? because they're hard to find from '89.

The hood was also perfect- not a ding on it. I might go back for that.
