I had no idea how much I was going to like this. It was a pretty easy job especial because I had a spare cluster and had it ready to go so it was a swap.
Guess what, I found more Previous owner stupidity in there. He had had this one apart before and the gasket was not right and the tubes for the lights were in wrong. He also used a marker to cover up the unleaded fuel only markings. What a maroon!
Anyhow the change out was fairly simple as there are only a few wires and light bulbs. I removed the bolt for the e-brake pedal and it slid over to help out a bunch. I managed to do it and not scratch up my new paint job on the cluster. The bright needles and the clean glass made my day. Oh yeah, new LED's from Chuck didn't suck either! ;D
The wife even thought it looked good and showed interest!

PS, the numbers actually do line up nice, I just had to take the picture from an angle to not get the steering wheel in it.
