Dashboard project
Well, I'm about halfway through my dashboard swap. I've been doing a bunch of projects recently to get my Alero back to presentable condition. The Alero was my daily driver while my 2004 Pontiac GTO was the garage queen. For the four years I owned the GTO I kind of let the Alero go with the exception of routine maintenance and a couple of wheel bearings. Last August I had to part with the goat due to economic reasons. After sulking all winter I needed something to work on since I couldn't mod the Pontiac anymore, so I decided it was time to give the Oldsmobile some attention.
I started, a couple of weeks ago by fixing my LIMG. That was a fun job that took all weekend but now I feel much better after getting it done. I had a pretty bad oil leak and that has now ceased. I don't think there was any damage to the internals. She still runs really good. I found a really nice dashboard on Ebay for $80. I just had to drive 3 1/2 hrs. each way to pick it up. No biggie, just a nice day of driving the Olds up to Michigan and back. Now that I'm layed off I decided to tackle the dashboard swap. It really hasn't been that bad. Just A LOT of stuff to take apart and then put back together. It will be worth it in the end. I'll post a couple of pics of the carnage for everyone's enjoyment. I'll post a couple more once I get it done tomorrow.
