Sorry no pics yet,
alarm - its functional now, just need to add the starter kill and wire the 3 outputs to control the windows up and down and the trunk
trunk - electric release - I took it out of a Legend coupe, gotta figure out how to mount the motor tot he trunklid and make the linkage line up
I also took the carpet trim, dark grey, for the sides and the trunklid (not in yet)
Volvo switch panel in the dash with 4 lighted switches that control 6 items (not sure what for yet, probably some neons or fire exhaust or other crap in the future)
LED lighting - all the dash is done except the a/c controls
Volvo 740 leather interior - power driver's seat but I'm still stitching the back seat together. The seats sit much higher and are way more comfortable. Back seats have become a total custom job
Alpine 60x4 deck - cranks great but the stupid Ai-Net connection to the bass amp doesn't work
repainted interior trims
6.5 front and 6x9 rear speaker conversion
made my radio work without a key
made the windows work without a key (1 wire!! I'll make a how-to)
made my front windows auto up and auto down using all Honda parts
VW Corrado horns, sound cool, like the BMW ones I drowned
mirror lights that turn on when I unlock the car
door lock switch is in the center console where the antennae switch was
still have to install the Infinity dome light and analog clock, the digital volt meter, A/C crap in my garage, the new brake calipers and rotors.
I'll try and borrow my neighbor's Digicam but I don't even have time for that!!

:D <-- 3geez mad scientist

busy much?!?!?! either you have a lot of time on your hands or you're cramming everything in because you don't have that much time to work on it each day. how much have you spent so far?

I usually end up doing these things in long streches of days off. As for how much... honestly I have no clue, too much! but honestly I'm not rich or anything, I get all my stuff at the junkyard except of course things like spark plugs, brakes, etc. and the rest on ebay or stuff on sale for a good deal.
I got the entire rear suspension (arms, brakes, hubs, swaybar) for $100
the interior was like $120
all the little shit I can take in my pocket I do, this is where most of my cool junk comes from
The carpets were $20, the popper was a pocket part
the most expensive parts are the tires and the audio system
