I have installed the new ball joint on the drivers side, my first time using a ball joint press, pretty simple.
I'm waiting for a friend to press in a new wheel bearing since he has access to a press, so car is in the air right now.

A little sneak peak preview of the gauges, I need to install the senders for the right 2 gauges.

Diggin the gauge setup man!!

[goodhart]

Ok, so you have the gauges where the climate control knobs go, the climate control knobs where the radio goes, and the vent space open right now. Are your plans to put in an aftermarket single DIN deck under the climate knobs and put the vent back in stock location then? That would be a cool setup, I haven't seen one quite like that in a 1g.

[turbotalon1g]

The vent was just out to take out that whole panel.
My stereo is already installed under the hvac controls, I would love to say this is my idea, but it isn't a guy that is basically doing a resto mod of a flawless white 1G did it first and gave me permission to try it, I will have to clean it up as time goes along because as with everything you don't really know how to do it until you have done it or till its too late.
I'll get better pics once its back together again.

Did you do that Outlander upgrade on the brake rotors, or just the 2G rotors? I just read about that yesterday, pretty cool upgrade, really cheap if you're going from single piston calipers.

[turbotalon1g]

I looked into it and then i just said screw that, too much hassle and I couldn't find any as cheap as people were saying, I got my 2G brakes for $50.

I thought about it a little bit and I thought that trying to get anything above parts store rotors would be tough for an outlander but easy for a 2G.

I love that gauge location. rookdsm I think was his sn on dsmtalk? Anyways, the car is going to be really nice now with the wideband and gauges there.


Whats the deal with the Outlander rotors? Thicker?

[turbotalon1g]

Right now I'm waiting to get my hub back from a friend that works at the local tires plus(they have a press) to put in my wheel bearing, but he has had it all week and with this nice weather it is killing me.

Anywho if anyone has access to a press to get this done for me I would appreciate it.

[Murlo26]

Looks like this is coming along nicely :)

You taking this to the cruise or unlikely?
