out with the old garbage center console i built as a kid. only thing i need to add now is some front speakers somewhere. and im still unsure WHERE i want to try and put some! its either put some tiny speakers in the single front middle spot. or just slap some speakers under the dash IN HOPES the sound reflects off the floor board enough.
i dont want to cut into this car anymore than needed... well anymore than it already is.LOL

also installed a new alarm since the old one must have died over the years! cheaper to replace it! only like 35bucks off ebay. i fixed the passenger door lock linkage and also tweaked all of the power door locks and got them all working perfect again. i scabbed all the power lock actuators off a old lumina we had way back in the day. they still work pretty good
just had to secure them to the door panels alittle better and zip tie the rods to the motors so they shouldnt fall out again.
only thing i wish i could add is a remote trunk popper BUT i cannt with the factory latch
theres no way to add a popper without disabling the lock which i really dont want to do!

nothing special in the trunk. just a quick REUSED SETUP parts i had laying around! type R 15. and a old custom box i had for my old civic. the box specs close enough for the typeR. i just never made this box pretty because i had trim panels cover everything up before. ive been meaning to build a new box but havent needed to build one since this one works just fine.lol
a old jbl bp600.1 amp. i just slapped a quick mount on the side since i got tired of looking at it on its side and didnt want to attach it to the box. i just slapped some quick tie down mounts on top and strung it up to keep it from sliding around for the time being.

and because my powerglide is shifting funny from 1-2 back and forth ruff shifting i got a back up transmission now!
local junkyard has had a older camaro out front for sale for a while and my friend that works there says the only reason they didnt sell it was because they lost the title for it so couldnt sell it so they stuck it out on the lot to be stripped!
now i kinda wish i bought the whole drivetrain motor/trans when i first saw it. just cause my 400 motor does smoke alittle. but anyways i was told it drives great so i knew the TH350 3speed transmission was good so i went ahead and got it.
funny thing is the first day they put it out on the yard i dropped the whole subframe and unbolted the transmission from the motor BUT i couldnt get the driveshaft or torque converter off cause i didnt have any open end wrenches so i had to leave it... i thought forsure someone would snag it up so i didnt go back until like a week later and i guess since i dropped it out mostly it must have scared everyone away thinking it was left on the ground for a reason.LOL and this time i had wrenches and a saw with me so i was able to actually get it. but by that time people had took parts off the motor like distributor and carberator parts and other misc stuff so i didnt buy the motor. but atleast i got the transmission as a back up so if my stock powerglide does completly crap out on me i can slap this sucker and be back driving the next day! only thing i have to buy for it is a new oil pan since the junkyard pops holes in them to drain them
and i also drug it around on the ground so i wouldnt trust that pan anyways! simple replacement tho!
im unsure if it has any extras in the transmission tho. would be nice if it had a shift kit but unsure. but it did have a upgraded B&M shifter on it as well as motor had center bolt heads on the motor so im hoping those upgrades also went inside the transmission
i think it will bolt right inplace of my powerglide but i havent jacked up my impala to visually check mine to this one.
