tweeding the dash!

l1ld3v1lrydr · 06-09-2008, 08:15 PM

some of u may have seen my thread on my shaved glove box door. and that i was tweeding the whole dash. well.. my tweed came today. so what did i do in 100 degree heat? slaved in my garage tearing apart the dash... and what a pain in the ass! but a few hrs later she was out.

started cleaning up some of the wiring. new electrical tape (cuz i hate working with 15 year old sticky shit) zip ties here and there. gunna solder my wires for my indash dvd, just have them crimped for now.
newho... heres the destruction (pix were taken b4 wiring clean up, batt then died lol)

how do u think i should paint the gauge bezel? should i paint the whole thing HOC orange like how the blue is now? or should i just paint the parts that stick out orange (if ya can understand what im saying) and then make the rest grey?

thanx. i have the grey one for about 5 years now. and i just picked up the white one back in november. i live in eastern pa, and i went to cinncinatti ohio for it. im the 2nd owner. the guy that had it kept it garage kept and dealer serviced. has all the papers from when it was delivered to his house. i drove it all the way home, and have yet to have any problems with it. and its oringinally from tenn, then he moved to ohio and it was a 3rd vehicle so he decided to sell it. i paid 2000 bux for it

and its the cleanest blazer ive ever seen. theres only one little spot of rust on the pass side door. thats it!

l1ld3v1lrydr · 06-09-2008, 09:37 PM

that color. and it wont fade much. ive had door panel inserts done for about 4 years now. tweeds pretty good with not fading. atleast the greys and blues ive used.

lowNslo · 06-09-2008, 11:57 PM

yah,all the dark colors fade and there really noticeable, looks good tho man i cant wait to see it covered

hopefully ill be able to get to it sometime this week. i work til 630-5 everyday now til friday, plus weve been having 100 degree days here. so hopefully itll cool done enough so i can work on it. either that or ill be doing it in the basement

l1ld3v1lrydr · 06-10-2008, 07:39 PM

so i did this tonight after i got off work, didnt feel like doing much of anything else... relocated the rear hatch window button to the tray on the bottom of the dash...

course the pix didnt come out so swell... and the 2 that did... well u can see my little **** up. but o well no1 will really see it!

l1ld3v1lrydr · 06-11-2008, 08:43 PM

made this trim pcs to cover the sides of the dash since im the one thats doing all the work and cant/dont sew, this seemed like the easiest and nicest way to do things.

most the wires cleaned up a bit, retapped or rezip tied. least i know what goes where!

l1ld3v1lrydr · 06-14-2008, 01:28 AM

as of 1 am saturday morning... this is where i ran out of glue lol... so... time to post pix, cool down in the ac and get some sleep!

whatcha think so far?

Blazin_Jason · 06-14-2008, 02:18 AM

Thanks for the pics. I will be needing to do mine at some point to match the rest of my interior. Looking good so far!

l1ld3v1lrydr · 06-14-2008, 03:27 PM

ok... got more glue and got most it done today. still have a lot of fine detail work i wanna do with it yet. but heres the pix

l1ld3v1lrydr · 06-14-2008, 05:51 PM

heres a few more. i just gotta clean up some frays and a few other little odds and ends then should be ready to go back in!

S10_with_go · 06-14-2008, 06:02 PM

looks good!!!!

l1ld3v1lrydr · 06-14-2008, 06:22 PM

thru the gauge bezel on and a vent to see how she looked...

s10sixteynine · 06-15-2008, 11:41 AM

the end caps were a nice touch

l1ld3v1lrydr · 06-15-2008, 06:48 PM

ok so i put the dash back in... and ran into some problems and i need some help!!

im almost positive i got all the computer wires hooked back up correctly. and i relocated the rear window button to the tray like in the pix. i tested it a few times and it worked fine. even since i put the dash back in it was working. now it wont pop the window, or even make the actuator move. and i tested the plug and theres power to the plug. so i got the remote out, hit the button and nothing. but i can hear the main brain for the remote system just clicking. but the door locks work..

also, i tried to start it... just cranks... any ideas?

l1ld3v1lrydr · 06-15-2008, 08:00 PM

well i got it running. i guess it was the red and blue harness plugged into the computer. had them in, but they didnt click in i guess. but i still didnt get the hatch working. i wouldnt think it could be the computer being that it worked before that, but ill check just to make sure.

heres some pix of it installed!

[IMG]http://i87.photobucket.com/albums/k126/l1ld3v1lrydr/IMG_5458.jpg

still undecided what i wanna do with these... thinking im gunna try some velcrow *sp?* to hold them down a little better

rosswhenifloss · 06-16-2008, 05:39 PM
