I decided to modify the mirror mount in the car. I picked up another mirror stalk from Jim @zKars and shaped it to allow the wires in the headliner come through the middle and out towards the windshield. Now I have a perfect cap to cover the wires and make the whole unit look stock! Looking forward to having this complete with the glass in. 
 

On to the next project. I wanted to redo the original steering wheel as it just felt like the right way to go. I sanded the spikes down and painted them body colour then hit them with a nice coat of gloss. Next, I wrapped a custom leather cover over the wheel and baseball stitched it up in dark green thread. The cover was off an eBay seller in the UK. 
 

Reassembled the horn components and placed the wheel for effect. The cling wrap is just there to protect the paint for now. 
 

Door panel skins arrived today! Time to build some doors...

Leather panels with leather covers for the armrests and green stitching.  Final pics in car not fully installed. 

Sound system tested and temporarily installed. Sounds good for under $210 Cdn!

 

Added a port on the console for the Haltech connection. This is unobtrusive and easy to connect.

Did some paint repair while I wait for parts to show up. Some wet sanding and polishing. 
 

I hope the second pic is before?  What grit did you start with?

I had some clearcoat run in the cold. It didn’t set up as fast and by the third coat it hard started to sag. I used 1500 then 2000 then 2500 then 3000 then random orbital dual action polisher.

A little more wet sanding and paint correction tonight. 

1000/1500/2000/3000 grit then cutting pad and swirl and haze remover. 
This is about an 80% solution to the finished panel. I will do a complete polish after the car is all sanded.

Couldn’t resist picking up this polisher today. It was on sale and will go nicely with the DA I already have.
