Evening Folks,
Some days you're the windscreen and others you're the bug, today I felt like the bug. I think I'll take a day or two off from this project. Jennifer has been very sweet to work with and very patient with the progress on her car.
Today I worked on some of the interior components trying to hide the scars of time with some gentle manipulation that is probably harder than just replacing the stuff.
 |
The center console shows the ravages of time, the seat has been rubbing against the vinyl and damaging it, how to fit it? Well what I decided to do was to lift the vinyl and glue it down. I also rebuilt the hinge attachment for the cubby/arm rest.
|
 |
| Another way to hide the breaks in the vinyl include taking the vinyl off the cubby and repositioning it so the cut is on the inside of the cubby. |
 |
| Cleaned up with leather conditioner, the gear shift lever gator is vinyl and needs to be replaced as it has several tears from use. |
 |
| Will be replacing the rubber around the emergency brake lever, I've shifted the vinyl so that the slit is on the inside of the cubby. |
 |
| Re-glued the vinyl on the side of the cover, I think it will be hidden when the seat is back in. |
 |
On to the door, interestingly the door has evidence of having been removed before, but what was interesting was the molded plastic door liner that you can see in this picture-dark black cover below the chrome strip.

As I wound up the window I noticed the handle seemed to be bent, what I found was that one of the window winder mounting screws had fallen out and pushed the door card out making it look like the handle was lopsided. The screws were loose to so needed a little attention too.

Well that's it for today, I placed an order form SNG today for brake parts and some interior stuff....
Take care,
Cheers,
Lynn
