Trimmed close for wrapping on 3 sides, and longer on the edge that will wrap onto the door.

I used 3M high strength auto tape to attach the plate to the door.

Final product: plate attached to the door, and the vinyl wrapped over the door edge. This should work.

Your build looks amazing. Really well done.

Loving the 2-tone interior.

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.


I was definitely going to "ding" ya on points if those perforations didn't line up!
Hey, who does this kind of stuff? haha

I had about an hour today, and felt calm, so I took on the rear sway bar link bushings. As often reported, this qualifies as a true PITA.

Note the one bushing that looks a bit yellow. This is the only "spare part" I got with the car, besides some fuses floating in the center box.

I tried a few things, including simple pressing, that did not work. What did work was inserting the open bushing end at an angle as far as possible, with the bushing warmed up and a bit of grease.

I then muscled the remaining part of the open rim into the link rink, with some assistance from my pry tool (a dull screw driver).

After that is was fairly easy to press the bushing through.

Then I pressed the links onto the sway bar. Helps to twist the link while pressing.

And then I pressed the other ends of the links onto the shock bolts.

That is the last of the chassis work, including brakes. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif)

Thanks, guys. It feels good to see progress, but still lots to do. The motor is still a pile of parts and boxes.

I cant wait to see you dig into that. Your work is impeccable. So the drive train should be a real good part to follow.

Satisfying just to see pics under the car—has to be enormously satisfying looking at them in person at this point in your journey.

Inspiring stuff!

The underside is one of my favorite views, since it looks mostly done. Then I look at the interior and feel more urgent.
