Purchased from my parents Aug, 2014. Was a daily driver for my mom until I got it. Did most of the work while they owned it bec my mom likes lightly modified cars. Started adding little by little to keep it a nice daily. As of today (9/30/15) it has 215k miles on the original transmission and engine!!!

Update: Rebuilt trans installed @ 216k miles got a great life out of the original!

Thanks got my reverse glow silver face gauges working, along with some red leds. Photo looks like the odo has hotspots but it's just the pic.

I really like the reverse glow gauges! The LED strip above the headlights look pretty clean in pictures. In real life can you make out individual dots or does it look like a single strip?

Thanks, yeah I like the Reverse glows. They didn't work when I got the car so I bought a universal 6color inverter for 13 bucks off ebay to replace what I assumed was bad, I'm glad that fixed it... Now I can actually see my gauges at night and they look great too.

The ribbon LEDs look like dots during the day. At night it looks more like a strip but if you look long enough you can still see the individual dots. Although with the headlights on you can't really tell there is a strip there anyways.

Day vs night gauges and other Red LEDs

I didn't want to say anything originally, but those look 100% better than the other ones. They just didn't "look right." Good choice with the new ones!
