Thanks for all the positive comments! I got a little closer today. Im still working on reassembling everything in my free time here and there. I have a lot of cable management to do as well. As I go through everything, I am wrapping all my new cables together in the factory looking wire loom tape so I can keep it as neat as possible. I can safely say that I cannot let anyone else work on my car (not that I ever did) because they would never be able to figure out the wiring. I keep a copy of the service manual (that I download from here) and mark up the schematics as I go so I can give myself a refresher on what crazy idea I had at the time. I am putting the factory AC controls back in for now but I still plan to change them out and build them into the touch interface or add a third screen .

I had to pull the entire top dash off so I can reinstall my center console properly and not risk cracking the center touch screen. I can safely tell you it is an absolute pain to get to the screws by the windshield defrost vents.

As I am reassembling everything, I am putting thick felt tape between all the seams to prevent any possible rattling. I originally had a rattle around the glovebox area that would drive me insane



Here is the progress so far. Once I get it together, I will start to work on the cosmetics and repaint the trim. I am also thinking of keeping the clear plastic out of the gauge cluster. helps reduce the glare and I think the LCD looks really good without it. I am going to laser cut a piece of hard vinyl that will go around the inside and form around the gaps where the plexiglass was.

Im nowhere near finished but all I can say is that I am happy that it is finally starting to look like a car again
