The DEtails!!

During this winter I had the opportunity to take off just about every boltable part on the car As you can see the feaver has struck the front of the car....where did the parts go you say.......well...

Here are all the parts after being blasted and painted on the drying rack I think I could get to like this....LOTS.

Amazingly enough...I got all the parts back on and in the right place. As I remember this is the first time that I had so many parts off the car at one time and was a little worried that I wouldnt remember where things went

I did the same thing on the rear of the car, removing all trim and bumper and brakets and blasting and cleaning and painting. In this shot you can see the chrome extensions of the exhaust ..looks good eh?

I decided to do a little convience feature on the car and installed a trunk lock actuator and remote button in the glove compartment. What's next eh...... cruise control??

I have been looking for a pair of roof pillar emblems since I took delivery of the car in September. I know these are not the right ones but for $5 they will suffice until I can affort the reproduction items for $100US a pair....YIKES!!!

FINALLY!! I had the chance to take the car to work and have one of my friends have a critical look at the work I have done over the winter months.. Here is the car up on the alignment rack taking the readings.. I was only out about .5 degrees on one side when I had set the toe by eye..pretty good eh!

Here is the shot of the underside of the car when it was up on the rack. Looks a little dark but you get to see just what I have been up to over the winter!

I had a couple of tarps laying around the garage with the thought that one day I would attempt to make a form fitted car cover... Pretty GOOD EH?? and all for around $20...and just a little time.

I took this shot to show you how the new covers turned out in the car. The upholsterer indicated that they are not original as I have known all along...but for around $200 I did both front a back.

I went to the salvage yard this week and picked up a am/fm radio to mount in the car. Not wanting to ruin the look of the original dash I decided to slip it in the glove box.......not to shabby for the radio and 4 speakers for $30.
