I used the 260/280 horn on the 240 wheel I put it my car, it required making a little mount bracket and was overall a horrible experience where I convinced all my neighbors that I'm a psycho who honks at everyone that drives by, but it works great now.

That made my day...thanks!

Haha thats funny. I thought about doing that too but I just like the smaller size of the 240 horn.

Just finished a few more things on the list.

Installed the vinyl trim on my pillars and did my headliner. I followed this link from Blue and worked great. Only difference is I bought the kit from Motorsport.

The glue they send with their headliner kit is garbage, throw it away or give it to your wife to do crafts and stuff.

I went to Autozone and bought this:

Its pricey ($25 a can) but its the real deal. This is the same stuff they use at Automotive upholstery shops. (I used to work at an upholstery shop).

I also put in the dash and finished most of the wiring.

And some random pics of how its sitting right now. Im waiting VERY patiently for my motor to get here from Rebello so I can get to the fun stuff!

Really nice work on the headliner, good tip on the glue, too.

looking great - love watching the progress.

btw - i also bought the headliner kit from msa but used their spray glue. it seems to be holding up just fine for me. i put sound mat on the ceiling and used pretty much the whole can. the only issue i ran into was my lack of experience doing a headliner (it's tricky and in a cramped car working upside down i made a couple of mistakes)

maybe i'll be re-doing it in a few years if the glue doesn't hold, but it's been almost a year, through a winter and a hot summer and so far so good...

Thanks. Glad to hear it worked out for you, I couldnt get it to stick. Did you do the pillars too or just the headliner? Because I dont think the headliner needs as much to stick.

just the headliner - glue sticks to the foam headliner backing and foil faced sound mat.

my pillars are not vinyl-wrapped, they are integral color plastic. (1978)

Ah I see. Yea you should be good then.

The dash looks fantastic! Wish I took pics of mine before I covered it with the full face dash cover. I don't think mine is repairable, that's how bad it looked!

Yea I have a cover too, if I didnt like the way it turned out I was going to just slap on the cover. Try it you may be surprised how well it turns out.

Does a new set of hardware, bolts come with the Fidanza flywheel to prevent embedment of the bolts?

Hope your motor gets to you soon.
