Interior project pics . . .
Here are some of the door panel pics from my interior project. Thanks to tinypic.com, I can finally post pics again!
The total interior project is slowly coming along.

Oh Jeeeeez! That's scary.
All I can think of is, "How the hell are you going to get all that back together again?"
Better you than me pal! Good luck! Show us pics when you're finished!

I have nightmares about having my car spread over the floor and can't get it back together again. That's one of the big reasons I didn't install the CLB (until I found out that I didn't have to); that part in the instructions about it being difficult to put that right side panel back on.
In my youth, I took apart lots of things on my cars...and Mr. Murphy always showed up. Today, I live by the old saying about fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me.

Right now, I don't think I'll be ready for paint on Sunday. I may have everything ready for paint by Sunday afternoon and if I'm tired, I'll probably hold off painting until Tuesday. Painting a candy color leaves no room for error, so it's best to be rested, fresh and ready to go.
Here's on more pic of all the parts I have 98% ready.

I'm sure it'll look great after you get finished and I really do wish you the best with your project. I'm just not up to spending a week with my car in pieces and me wondering where this doohicky went. Guess I'm gettin old!

Mr. Lope,
I'd be lying if I said I was having a blast.
I severely underestimated the amount of time this project would take. I completely forgot about the speaker trim and that was 6 hours, another forum member led me to believe you could remove the vinyl on the lower door panels and sand the plastic quickly so instead of 2-3 hours, I have almost 16 hours in them (of course I decided to delete the reflector and that has certainly added some time) and they're still not ready.
Oh well, back to work, hope to get 8-10 hours in today.
