Tested and assambled everything today, looks great... 

All bulbs replaced by Led-lights except the illumination since It must be possible to dim the light...

Dissambled the driver's seat today but will not start working on that until new days eve..

Today I assambled the instrument cluster again just to see if the odo-meter and trip-counter worked and they did, it was enough to grease the gears to make it work again. 

I also replacing the instrument lighting bulbs to led-lights like the one in the picture. There are 3 colors, white,blue and red which will be perfect as headlight and brake indicators.

The red LED light...

I have now cleaned all the gauges and painted the needles orange since thew where bleached to yellow by age and sun. You can see the difference on the picture...

The gauge in the middle still yellow by age and sun bleach.

Odometer gears was ok!

Have had problem with my odometer and trip counter this summer, it did turn but it seemed be stucked somehow. A common fault due to age are that the teeths on the gearwheels is worned down. When I dissambled it, nothing is wrong.... looks like brand new... no missing theets or anything.
I did notice that the trip counter's reset mechanism was very sluggish so hopefully thats the cause of it.

I have cleanead everything and will replace all bulbs, used silicone grease on all the toothed wheels, with a little luck, everyhing will work after assambly. I put up the pictures for the dissambly if anyone needs to see how it looks like.

A little X-mas greeting from me to all my visitors...
Looks like little Santa likes SL.

The car runs and performs very well, no need to tune any more this winter, will wait until the spring comes. My next project right now is to fix my odometer and trip counter, when that is done I will put in new pads in my chairs since they are very flat and hard right now. So keep on visiting my blog and check it out...
