I've wanted to do something like this for a while, and the 'Bu is finally at a spot where I'm comfortable sharing the progress it's made, as it nears the completion of the project.
I bought her in April of 2019. At the time, she wasn't in the best mechanical shape, however the frame and body were in great shape, which is huge when you live near the Great Lakes, and vehicles tend to rot due to the salt.
It's here we begin our journey through the ages, with these pictures taken day 1 to document the purchase of the car. Nothing fancy, again, just to document the initial condition of the car.
Before I even bought the car, I had already known the first mod I wanted to equip the vehicle with. I wanted to install an Apple CarPlay capable radio.
And so we're off to the races with the first mod on the vehicle, where I selected the Sony XAV-AX5000, as I felt it best kept the stock aesthetic to the vehicle.
However, little did I know that this would only be the beginning of my time modding this car. Inspired by @!Tommy 's conversation from the 1LT to the LTZ, I reached out to him and he broke down the basics of what I need to change to match the LTZ. I began with the interior and found the Khoki dark wood grain trim for the dash and doors.
