Night Bomber

Recently installed a 2000 Cadillac Escalade center console. The console originally was beige with wood accent. SEM paint/color system was used to change colors so the console looks like it came from the factory... almost. Also added blue LED bulbs. The blue light is not quite as intense as the camera makes it appear. These consoles come with a subwoofer which is integral to the console's forward structure. Might be an interesting future project.

How she looked when I bought her.

Two broken connecting rods.
Holes in the oil pan
Spewed oil when it ran but NO ENGINE CODES!

Ran really rough. Just enough to crawl up on the trailer to go to her new home.

Driver door wouldn't stay closed. Needed new greasable hinge pins from Clips and Fasteners.

The Spring Roller Pins that hold the doors open might get an upgrade some day.

Weathertech makes some really nice floor mats that will let moisture run off the mat and OUT THE DOOR.
They didn't show up when I was searching Weathertech for mats until I did a search for 1988 - 1998 SUBURBAN front floor mats. Weathertech didn't know what a C1500 was until I figured that one out.

Interior LED lighting was interesting.
The Escalade console has a place where light can wash into the footwell if you put an LED in the right spot inside it.
