Rod, everytime I see that interior, I notice somthing else. You've upgraded to the 97 interior (I knew that) but you still have the original style XR7 Steering wheel. I've always liked that style wheel. How did you use it. Does the car still have the original column? or does it have a 97 column? If you have a new column and the old wheel, do the Cruise Control buttons still work? LOL I know, lots of questions.... And the car looks great (as always).

Good eye. :thumbsup: The steering wheel is one of the few original pieces on the car. It's mounted on a 97 steering column. I made a small bracket to locate the 89-93 cruise/horn contacts in the correct location on the 97 column. So yes, everything on the steering wheel does work. The only "problem" is that there is a bit of a gap between the steering wheel and the column trim. The 89-93's used a trim ring to cover the gap, and the 94-97 wheels have a slightly farther reach to cover the gap without a trim ring. Since a 89-93 trim ring won't fit, I'll need to make something, but it's kind of at the bottom of my list at the moment.
hhhmmmmmm well, being the lazy and already overworked person I am, I guess I'll have to stick with the Current wheel. (Though I saw a Cobra wheel on Ebay for 20 bucks.....)
Thanks for the info, its good to know that it can be done when/if I decide to get it done.
I found balled up insulation in my trunk Monday, indicative of a mouse. I pulled the read seats, emptied the trunk, looked under the carpet best I could and found nothing. I cleaned up and set a mouse trap, this morning the trap is missing. I put my PC bag & lunch box in the trunk every morning...

Found a nice puddle on the passenger side floor a couple weeks ago. Looks like the ponding started from a leak in the upper dash area above the kick panel. Had some good rainstorms since but the problem didn't recur. I frequently clean the leaves that fall onto the vent area and gave the...

If there is a sticky on this, I am blind to it somehow.
Can anyone share any experience in choosing and fitting in a bar and harnesses?
We need to have new condition restraints at Maine, and need to upgrade our safety.
Thank you.
