Couple of side notes.
1. In the course of removing the black interior I cut the wire for my GPS sensor. Thought I could splice it but then I noticed there is an outer shielding with and inner insulated wire. Need to check on whether it can be spliced. 2. The 92 was the first year of ASR. Consequently the bin hatch behind the driver is bolted closed, while previous years there were 2 pull handles and locks. The 92 only has one. I replaced the driver's side bin door with one from a 91 and will install a second lock. Then I can install the bin door pull for the bin on the driver's side. The carpeting for the hatch area already was cut for this otherwise it would have looked unfinished. 3. The halo trim will be painted cognac to match the rest of the interior. Was thinking of doing same for package tray trim in rear hatch area. My wife says she likes the contrast of the Cognac w the black however.

Lookin' real good there...
If the wife offers preferences, TAKE HEED. Happy wives are HARD to come by ... ![]() Is the GPS wire co-ax? Or tri-axial? If co-axial, you can get compression fittings and a barrel connector, along with 'the tool', at the local DIY. Or catch the local telecom field tech in your neighborhood. Might offer to ante up his lunch...

Looks like a co-axial. Looks like about a 14ga wire.

Pretty much have front part done. Cluster and console are together. Also, took a slight detour Nd installed one of Marc's steering column pins to tighten things up which it did. Finishing up the hatch area is next. depends on weather. After the interior I'll be tackling the rear Z06 brake install. I'll put that in a different thread.

You can paint carpet....midamerican sells the paint if you are interested in covering up the red stain under the seat

Took advantage of the "mild" weather we've had over the last few days. 50F yesterday in Chicago. 30's today before the deep freeze comes back. I must have taken the console apart and put back together about 5 times because of getting the assembly sequence wrong. What a PITA. I don't recall my 84 being this much hassle when I replaced carpet and seats in it.
The steering column fix set me back a bit too. Accessing the knee bolster reinforcement bolts up tight against the console make pulling the console side carpeting a "must". Otherwise you'll spend more time trying to get at it, than doing the rest of the job. Then "chasing" the starts/dies thing had me dropping the column ONE MORE TIME! Marc's oversize pin really did help in tightening up the column slop. Now I can actually lean on it and it doesn't budge. So the front end is together with the exception of seats(getting seat covers made) and seat belt buckle. Hope to finish rear hatch today. Radio bezels and targa storage bezels are on. Need to check on painting of halo trim. I am also going to have the seat back shells painted to match OR should I leave them contrasting? Speaking of seat covers, I spent time removing the D/S cover so the upholsterer has a pattern for the new covers. Aside from the typical left bolster wear, the cover is in very good condition. I may sell it if I get it back in original condition. I will be taking the passenger side off as well. That seat cover is in pretty much pristine condition. I'll be putting it up for sale shortly, FYI.
