This consisted of:
-Removing old broken/leaky Ac components including deleting the compressor.
-Cut the bracket that holds the compressor/ power steering pump so there's not a all that excess where it was mounted. (I can take photos if anyone's interested.)
-Relocated the ICU that usually mounts on the washer reservoir into the car. It's now mounted on the passenger side firewall in the car.
-Same with the cruise control vacuum tank
-Got rid of the bulky coil/ power steering fluid reservoir mount and moved the coil farther back.
-Made a new washer fluid reservoir from a stainless water bottle. Its now mounted behind the grille.
-I mounted the motors for the washer fluid under the overflow tank.
-Black paint is your friend.
I still need to do something about where that pad used to go on the firewall. It looks terrible.
New fuel pumps.
The old ones were crying out for help.

New steering wheel.
DEUSENBERG? If any one has any info on this wheel/ company please let me know. I literally cant find another like it. Not even any thing about the company. Its spelled different than the car manufacturer. So I don't think it was made by them. VERY nice steering wheel. It seems to be of really high quality. I love it.

Had to replace that terrible badge in it. I found this awesome enamel pin that I thought would be perfect to make in to the center piece.
I simply snipped the pin off, and filed the back side smooth. Added adhesive, and got this.

Not sure why I haven't shared this. Simple little subwoofer setup. I made a mdf box for it and put it in the suitcase. I feel like it fits the wagon well.
I also put some Rocksford Fosgate 6 inch speakers in the back doors.

I believe that sums it up.
I'd like to get another motor and manual trans sooner than later. Dry compression is
1- 125
2-119
3- 80 on first pulse works its way to 90
4- 118
