Nice! Looks good.  I'm gonna try to do this to my bird when I can find one. Is that your 86?

Thanks!  No, this is the dash of my 84.  My 86 has a gutted dash, no AC, radio or anything else.

Cool. I have an 84 as well. Was it difficult to do?

I made it a bit more difficult for myself because I didn't want to cut any of the car's wiring.  I made a harness for the Tripminder with parts from a digital clock so it is plug and play with the exception of the fuel and speed wires which just need to be tapped.  The stereo is from a 87-88 TC.  I had to cut the connectors from the 84 stereo and attach those to the TC stereo pigtail.  Overall pretty easy.  My goal was to upgrade but with period correct parts.
