Mike, I almost dug out the ski goggles to take her around the block. Still rainy here in the Northwest.

With the car at Rich's Upholstery, I thought I'd tinker with the radio console. Check it out! Iphone holder + an on/off switch for the amp in the trunk.
I had to remove the S-Brake (still plugged in, just hidden behind the console) to mount the iphone yoke.
Swapped the fan and hazard switch locations just for ease of access. Came out pretty good.

So why am I crying? Birth of a child? Seahawks won the Superbowl? Beautiful sunset???
Nope. NOS bumper!!!!!!
Arrived today from Dan at Rising Sun Racing. Did I say NOS?!?!?!?!
Big smile when I saw the original tissue inside. Note the Datsun "band-aid" tape that wraps it. Just like what they used to cover some of the holes on the ice wall. Is it just me or does this kind of stuff really make your day!

A brief moment of sun yesterday. Took her to the park for some pics.
Here's a look at her side. Reducing images to fit on this site is a pain!
