I believe my pedal box is from a manual.

I would hope so, otherwise you wouldn't have a clutchpedal!   There ARE differences in s30 (Manual) pedalboxes.

So you're saying that NASA only uses the Imperial measuring system?  You would be wrong.

So last weekend and early this week I went to the shop for a little while

I stitched up the pocket

Then dressed them down

After trying the hinges again, I added some clearance at the gutter edge on both sides.

 

After that I brushed on some zinc rich primer. A little seam sealer and it aught to be ready to reassemble. Hopefully I can get the hatch flush now. If not it will have to wait for another day.

This was going to be my project this weekend, but I've been sick all week and I haven't gotten over the hump yet...

I might make it to the shop for an hour or so tomorrow.

Looks like a nice new Vintage dash!

Yes MIG by leaning over into the car. Hard to see but I didn't get all burned up that way.

Bought through JDM Car Parts but probably all produced from the same point

So I did make it to the shop today for an hour or so.

I put the hatch hinges back in with some sealant. They both go down nice and level to each other. Hopefully that is enough.

I also worked on stripping the dash pad

Here's where we started

I recommend you take this piece at the glove box hinge out first and remove the hazard switch. I broke mine moving the dash around.

That’s a Doozy right there. It’s cracked to the core!!

Noticed the oil pressure gauge only goes to 90lbs, not 140?

Details on the flaps around the glove box and inside the dash

Pretty much stripped with the pad still on it

Yeah, I don't know what month that changed during production
