Pulled the trim away tonight and discovered the PREMIUM SOUNDS. 

That runs the speakers in the doors. There's wiring for a sub amp. No idea where it is though. However, that can go on the wish list. 

Light bulbs in the dash were a success.

Battery charger and battery arrived.

Battery duly inserted in the hole, lubricated the mounting bolts and put the thing on charge because it's spent a lot of time in the box. 

Connected up, the dash provides a litany of faults. It all seems to work though. Climate control screen is half working, but the segments that are broken only show up at a temperature not normally set so that's good. 

Sunroof and windows all work, which is surprising.  Someone's been in there before, it's all nicely greased up.

Most of the other electrical things also work. Oddly this car has side repeater indicator lights, rear fog lights and the dash says BOOT OPEN when you pop the trunk. 
Driver's side seat has two movements that don't work, the front of the seat just whirs and doesn't move up or down, and the headrest just goes click. 
Radio also needs investigation.
 
Overall quite surprising how much of it still works.

They do, limp mode. I'm guessing you've never owned a Peugeot?

I bought a new car.


It's nice but also broken, because Jaguar.
 
New engine required.

Very nice Jagwar. Funnily enough just yesterday I watched Tedward of The You Tube driving a lovely black XJR 100. A wonderful thing, but all the plasticky Ford switchgear in the centre console is a bit of an odd contrast with the rest of the interior.
I forget how well these did Stateside. Good luck with the engine. Will be following with interest.

I sure you're familiar with Pole Barn Garage..

The back seat sucked up half a tin of leather salve. 

Ordered some more to finish the task and also some oil to periodically rub in to keep the leather supple. It was very very dry, especially where it's been in the sun.

There is, and a full electric adapter setup to get the computers talking to the GM hardware.

This one arrived in pieces. 
It has suffered severe OMGHGF and then the red lights were ignored and it was driven until it drove no more. 


Not even going to bother with that one.
