Some new progress will be updated soon   .

Small updete for interiors.

[hr]

Center console has installed.




Installing key to glove box.






Knob removed.



Push the cover from inside that covering the hole for key cylinder.



Then assembled.



Finish.



The sponge stuck into the heater core had been decomposed and it caused the leakage of the air :dontknow: .
So I covered it over with some metal tapes.
The air coming from side airvent became tremendously strong .



New shelf has installed.
What should I use the material existing in the center like  bellybutton? :dontknow:



At present, the speedo gauge has exchanged with the one salvaged from 1980 cabriolet.
I`m going to send the original gauge to the company which can adjust it because ,in spite of new genuine parts, it`s indicating 10kmh faster than the actual speedo  :dontknow: .



New genuine 220kmh gauge and the original gauge that came with this car.
The original gauge has strange red line over 100kmh, and this gauge has unique system for warning about speed.
If we exceeded 100kmh, some noisy warning sound has appeared from inside of the dash that tells us "You`re running too fast !!It`s dangerous!! " .
It seems extremely obstructive, but under the public road regulations in Japan in 1970,without this system,we couldn`t use the car on the public road   :dontknow: .



Made from broken emblem .



And lastly, I washed up my daily buddy .

Thanks.
