NORBI Posted March 9, 2003 Report Posted March 9, 2003 I was on a junk yard this friday and found a 94 CS with a grey airbag so without thinking i removed it and took it. Over this weekend we had a nice weather so i installed a new headliner, door panels from International model, new dash and finally a steering wheel with airbag, and that really improves looks of interior, looks more modern not so 80s.

Brian P Posted March 9, 2003 Report Posted March 9, 2003 ever consider the steering wheel on 88-93 internationals, and all 92-94 cutlasses? Looks much better than the traditional Olds one that they used on like every car including the 88 and calais etc Quote
NORBI Posted March 10, 2003 Author Report Posted March 10, 2003 1st i had a steering wheel that came with base model that i hated it then i put one from a 90 International which i liked a lot but i really loved the ones from 94 with an airbag, i like the leather on them and that they look more modern. PS. I removed my HUD right now because old dash felt apart and will have to cut out a hole for a HUD in a new one. Sucks driving now without a HUD Quote
GnatGoSplat Posted March 10, 2003 Report Posted March 10, 2003 I noticed you don't have steering wheel controls, but if you wanted them, the 89-93 steering wheel with controls is much better than 94-97. More buttons for one thing, but more importantly, the buttons are dual-color molded plastic on 89-93 so you can use them all you want and the only wear you will notice is they get shiny. 94-97 steering wheel controls get their color from a thin vinyl coating that peels off. It's very annoying, grrrrrrrrr. Quote
Brian P Posted March 10, 2003 Report Posted March 10, 2003 I think he needs to concentrate on fixing the mirror joystick first just bustin your "chops" Quote
NORBI Posted March 10, 2003 Author Report Posted March 10, 2003 Thanks for remainding me about the mirror joystick i hate that thing, i fix it and i always break it by accident, so i think i will have to get another one from a junk yard. But now that somebody told me about it i have to do it. 8) About peeling paint on it, its peeling a little bit not much but you are right about it, its a very thin layer of color on it. Quote
Brian P Posted March 10, 2003 Report Posted March 10, 2003 If you want, I could look for one of those recessed joystick holders for that. It holds up better, less chance of knocking into it and breaking. Quote
GnatGoSplat Posted March 11, 2003 Report Posted March 11, 2003 I have a spare electronic one with wiring pigtail if you're interested. Quote
NORBI Posted March 11, 2003 Author Report Posted March 11, 2003 Thats a lot but i think i stay with manual mirror, i can get all the parts for my car for free from my local junk yard. Thanks a lot Quote
