I dropped some more cash this morning and ended up pulling the trigger on a black interior swap for sale here on the forum. I shouldn't be messing with the interior just yet, but I can't stand how dirty and worn my tan interior stuff is. I'll still have a couple missing pieces to source, but it should be fairly complete. Excited to get that all cleaned up!

I started removing the interior on Monday night to have some room to work on installing the clutch pedal and whatnot when the time comes. Now that I have a black interior on the way, I feel better about the things I took out. I'll have to follow through and remove it all now at this point:

Yeah... not so pretty.

I also removed the automatic gear selector component- won't be needing that!

Looking forward to this looking far less gross in the coming weeks!

Not much to report here. I ordered a Hyper Rev on the Aristo for some inspiration, as well as the MAF sensor for the swap. There's a chance the engine could be here today according to the tracking, but my guess is this stuff will all start to pile in next week. Hoping to work on getting the car on stands this weekend!

I'm not getting into exterior stuff much yet, but I do want to run an Aristo front grille. Anyone have any tips on tracking one down? Most of the ones I find are for the first generation. Is this a tough part to track down these days?
