- oil cooler lines, belts, PS pump seals, valve adjust, .....
- etc., etc., etc.

Mods include -

stereo system:
- Pioneer head unit
- 4" mb quart midrange in dash, tweeters on front doors just forward of door handles
- 6" mb quart woofers in rear doors in place of ash trays
- 4" boston acoustics in rear OE location
- two amps in space under rear (wagon) cargo area
- xm radio
- jack for ipod

3 OE Head rests in rear seat (I got the brackets and upholstery grommets from a wagon with 3rd seat at bone yard)

Euro headlights with vacuum tilt (I rigged up a couple of 3-way vacuum valves with a window switch in place of OE stereo fader to run the headlight tilt)

Non-OE halogen backup lights

Stainless exhaust

Hella goose neck map light

120 amp alternator (going in this next week)

Rebuilt entire AC system, with new aftermarket parallel flow condenser, charged with R134 - doesn't blow snow, but get center vent temp. down to 45F when humid and high 90's outside.

Removed EGR with Brian Carlton's kit

K&N Air Filter

Volt meter and 12 v sockets in place of front ash tray

Next year:

Valve job, body work, some kind of dome light over rear seats (in wagon, dome light is way in back)
I'm going to install w126 reading lights in the "C" pillars and link them into the wiring for the rear dome light.
