Hey shaved, I did some minor dash mods to my old S10 just like how you are but no where near as crazy. One problem I had though was the fiberglass ate through the foam and caused my work to sag in a bit needing more filler.
What brand of foam did you use to do this? and how are you finishing it? (paint, viynal, cloth,etc)

it reminded me a little of the Alpine Civic where they moved everything to the center of the car.. seat, pedals, shifter
and yea the suspension parts are yours, maybe the weekend after this we can tackle it, im busy for this weekend as of now

I thought that the shifter was already in the middle

Jay and Juan, Let me know i can help you guys..
Juan I must say, i know you had your heart in mind in this project but i'll be damn!!! That is one hot mod your doing. And the fun part is bring it together. Keep up the work bro, I guess the 3rd gen NYC/LI crew should set up a shop and specialize in 3rd gen custom fabrication.
Btw, that hacked dash looks familiar.
, and its burgendy just like my old gxe's after i was done with it from my black conversion jay, joe and i did awhile back: 
i wonder whats next on Juans project list, Maybe a removeable roof to ragtop convertible? Or how about delorean style gull wings??? Come on people think. What will he think of next(sounds like the fruit roll-ups ad)?

Yes I am done Izzy, just maintenance from now on. All I really would need is the ECU but not worth it for what I drive my car for. Now its time to save up for another car....thinking of 95 M3 way down the road 
Possibly also buying my bro's Eagle Talon just to have fun with a turbo car. We'll see how things go, but if you guys need help with anything I am usually free to give a hand.

People just waste money on anything over 5k in HID's because as the color temperature increases, the amount of visible light decreases (which isn't always true for halogen, and why some people ended up buying the higher color temp lights).
