Great looking wagon.though it looks pretty sick or" ill"lol :wink: i see you want that"so-cal" iroc look!!! That's west up and in doing/swapping these out will be the thing to do.nehoo,i have all parts yourelooking for and can do a package deal on all three parts,or separate if you wanted to try and tackle the temp gauge,and opening up your current column oppossed to buying a great cond tight column. And gauge from me.i can do all three for 175.00 shipped,or just the vent window for 80.00 shipped.lmk asap as i have a couple interested "wagon owners"interested as well.good luck with your build and hope to hear from you soon.my number is (505)231-6037,if you'd like to discuss in further detail.or just shoot me a pm.

ok. aside of the big rims its slick. the color is great but the rims are what get me and are the first thing you notice. like a wise man once told me , big rims are like thongs, you can put them on anything but it dosent mean it looks good! im sorry for being a *ss. i live in Detroit, all i see are people ****ing up good cars by hacking the susp to lift them up to put big rims on that are worth more then the car its self! its even hard to find a good parts car that hasent been molested with lift springs and candy or flip paint. as for your problems it might be easier to replace the column then to repair it. as for the vent window im in the same boat your in, i need a driver side though, the temp sensor is a easy fix but if you r gauge isnt working is also easy to put in a aftermarket gauge.

Killer information on rebuilding the steering column, Thanks a million. Love to play and build this stuff, have a old column I need to rebuild and this squares me away. Thanks again.

Just a few 8) Need to make couple new ones to show the carbon fiber dash pieces better.

Hey Andrew,
How is carbon fiber to work with? I'm considering possibly making a a gauge surround panel for my GP dash. It's either that or engine turned finish.

THe 3M Carbon Fiber stuff is super awesome, it is like a cloth with adhesive and you even heat with a hair dryer and mold it around what you are doing, like out side Mirrors. It has 3M adhesive so as Minnesota homeboy you know that is some serious good stuff! I will make some more pictures and post so you can see. I had some older stuff which is night and day when compare.

Same as below site but cheaper and fast shipping.

Andrew,
That 3M carbon fiber looks like an awesome, easy to use product. Thank you for posting the links.
Another thing on my ever growing to-do list. :lol:
Great job on your interior..
