Now for a few more updates. I got most of my interior. Here is the headliner resting on the roof.  Most of the insulation is now in and ready for the headliner.  I also got my wheels and jack back from the blaster. Time to paint them.  In the meantime I started to finish off the front end. The grill still needs some of the blackout and it is only resting in place.  |

Then it was time to finish up the front end. Here is the bumper all assembled and ready to go on. Their are some chrome trim that goes on the grill that are not installed in this pic. They were a real pain to install. Mostly because I had them so long that the blue protective film would not come off!!   I even painted the jack assembly. Can't have an ugly jack in a nice trunk.  |

The dash is now finished being painted and was a real challenge but I wanted something different but classy. The dash pad is set in place but will be dyed to match the dash. It's more of a charcoal than black.   I had pulled the car out of the garage so I can get the wheels painted. It was a bit cold to paint outside. I got the black and clear coat painted on the back side of the rims.  Also this weekend we finally got the glass installed. The windshield that I got with my glass kit that I bought years ago was not up to the quality I wanted so we bought another windshield.   Here is the car outside all locked up!! Notice the wheels, The wheels off the Xtreme fit the rear axle but not over the hub on the front rotor. So I used the front wheels off the wagon. I hope to finish up the rally wheels this weekend and get the tires on soon!!  |
