Just went you think you have it all planned out . I ordered all new stuff for the Interior , it's looking great . Then realizing I didn't buy new seat belts because I thought mine were in ok shape ...well 32 year old seat belts look just like they sound when they are next to brand new stuff ...Oooooop s
Its all Good . Just happy that im finally seeing the light . Door panels might go on after The Dallas / Houston game tomorrow . Then some tweaks on a few things on the inside ...
Then my next big thing , fixing my headlights ..... plugged all them in tonight . Blinkers work , tailights , brake , etc....BUT no headlights
Well its been a while , had to step back and take a little break . All i had left to do was to install the door panels and i would be finished with the interior . I took it outside , washed it and dried it . Took a few pics , then decided to pull it back into the garage to finish .....
Then it happened , lost 2 calipers and almost ran into the garage . drivers front and passenger rear . Guess this is what happens when it sits up for 2 years being worked on . I knew better . ..... time to rebuild calipers & then think about new tires . They were on the car when i bought it almost 13 years ago , lol
Not that you probably sit in the passenger side too much, but is that seatbelt 'latch' put in backwards? might make it a little more difficult to undo when getting out.

Could be , been that way for the 12 years I've owned it ( as you can see in old pic as I was tearing out ) .I just put them back like I removed them ... Interior / carpet seemed original . PO said nothing about replacing anything . I'll double check , I'm going to be replacing them both shortly .
Paints done , interiors done ....now to start of the rest . Like brakes that have been sitting pretty much for 2 years ...and tires that are 13 plus years old ...
You have really done an excellent job on her!!! This puts my '80 to shame... Interior is simply awesome - LOOKING GREAT!!!! Maybe one day I can get mine to come remotely close to yours???? Thanks much for your help on the lights too!

Thanks D ...
Kind words . Yours will get there , you'll see . No problems on the parts , I'll get them boxed up and sent out soon .
Two months off & I hope my car is still in the garage .... Heck , I dunno , haven't been in it , LoL .
But at work today ( I have my parts shipped to me there ) ...the receiving mngr said " is this yours "? ..... Said it s been laying around for 3 months on a shelf collecting dust "
Well , it's not a major item ...but it's still like Christmas & it just might get me motivated again....
