And the outer door seal. I put these two in so the paint wouldn't chip on the way home.

Re-Built the outer-inner felt bad for the windows. I need to order the inner-inner ones. Easy install with parts from Lowes. Took me an hour, and looks/works VERY well.

I started Saturday by re-covering the top-back dash. I used vynal that I got from Morphenspectra that matches the door panels I bought, and the center console. (diamond punch)

Next Samson (newto914s) came over and we put the dash in. Sam REALLY liked this part! ("I give up...I cant get to that screw!")

Then we put the back-pad on. I had to re-drill a few holes after I put the chassis-stiffening kit in. Forgot about that part!

:::: FAST FORWARD BECAUSE MY BATTERY DIED ::::
Samson got the seats built for me, while I worked on the threasholds, seals and side carpet. (As seen in the pic above.) Then we re-blead the brakes, and THAT is when trouble started. We did all three leading up to the drivers front. We could NOT get the tire off the rim. Sounds funny, but YOU try to get that thing off of there! (Yes, we took all 4 bolts off!) So I figured I'd just bleed around it...then the bleeder valve broke off. "No Problem" I thought...I've got an easy-out! Then the Easy-Out broke off inside the broken bleeder. I have NO clue how I'm going to get THAT out of there. I got cleand up and went out to dinner with my wife. Then I came home, and got back to work...time to see if the carpet fits.
