Well, here we go again...A couple steps forward, one step back...:rolleyes:
Got the front seat all finished and installed. Came out pretty good. (despite the not top quality upholstery work). Got the seat belts installed as well. Could probably be a little longer but the 60" work. Still have 4" or so of adjustment. May order the longer ones later, but at least that's an easy swap.
Even the radio is working now. Not sure how but now the volume is working correctly now. Not arguing though as I didn't want to have to replace such a nice condition radio. Even have a vintage FM converter to add for more variety of radio stations.
Here's where the back come in again. Noticed the other day my dash lights quit again. Checked and found the fuse wasn't making good contact again. If you touched it, it would work but wasn't consistent. Removed it and gave it a good cleaning. Dash lights again!! But now I noticed when you put the park or headlights on the signals light up dull on the dash, and when you use the high beams the high indicator is dull and same issue with the signal indicators. I cleaned the dash ground really good (when I was initially trying to get dash lights). I am guessing a bad ground somewhere, just have to start looking again to find it.
Other than that, a few small finishing touches and I'm finally on the road (after getting a safety done of course)
