Finally home and ready to play in my garage again. Since I brought the recovered seats and interior parts home, I could not resist seeing how these look in the car.


Those look great in the car. Once the carpet is in it will really pop


Thanks. I am waiting to test the electrical system and do a few more things before I install the carpet.

Among parts that arrived while I was gone are some Bilstein rubber shock bumpers.

These have the right ID to slide tightly onto the shock shaft, and provide about 1 inch of bump protection. Enough to avoid metal-on-metal if the shocks ever bottom out.

With the rear shock assemblies done for now, I was able to tighten all the hardware.

These are for the rear brake disks, replacing the originals that were partly mangled.

Today was my first play time with spray adhesive (DAP Landau gunk). I started with the dash center plates, which I covered with the same vinyl on my seats and door cards.

I taped together the main left side and the radio block-off plate.

Here are the vinyl piece, taped to keep it straight, and the plates, both already sprayed with adhesive. According to the instructions on the spray can, for "permanent" bonds, I have up to 2 hours after spraying both sides to make the join.

Joined and after initial trim, and compared to the vinyl piece I took off. That looks very crude--perhaps not original?

The vinyl must be wrapped over the edge of the radio plate next to the glove box and around the lock.

Next up was the glove box door. This is a bit more complicated since the vinyl attaches to the cover plate and the door itself.

I also needed to make the perforations line up with the rest of the dash plate. I made a jig to position the vinyl and the glove box plate.
