I used the Mark Viii seat belts, so when I put them in the panel I did not have the t-bird bezels, so I cut the panel to make the Mark Viii one work

Got the console painted and getting it ready to put back in, I am going to try and figure out the power mirror switch since I put on the power mirrors on the car.  The console and mirrors and harness came out of an 84, going to see if I can get them to work in the 83.

Went home last night and separated the mirror harness and wired it in.  Both mirrors work great now.  I also put in the boots for the wire in the door jam, I know its small stuff, but like to share it.

I made a Plexiglas trim plate to go around cd player and eq. Yes they are old school, but still work, lol.

Very cool setup,  if anything the old school car audio stuff is better than the newer stuff
What do all those buttons control?

I agree with Ramos on the "old school audio"... The newer stuff may be good but most of it looks out of place in our cars.( just my opinion) I actually searched Ebay to find an older Alpine for my Bird, Just because that's what I used "back in the day" lol.
