I just spent all night reading this thread. I just want to say that you have a very steadfast attitude and all the props to you. I would have been discouraged and given up with all of the hurdles that were laid in front of you. The car looks amazing bro. Keep up the posts.

Well I got the car cleaned up for te most part today. I missed a few parts in the interior, and some wax in crevices, because I lost my cleaning brushes some where in my clean garage. I also need to bring the shine out of the dash board.
I need to do something about those seat backs. I may wrap them in vinyl.


Look at the dirty interior


Seats removed

Vacuumed

Panels cleaning


Done




I need to fix the OBC, find a few small interior parts, clean the windshield and rear window gaskets, and lock them in. I also need to clean the engine bay and clear coat the tails. Then the ICE.
I also washed the outside and took some practice photos with my new SLR. This was a quick impromtu photoshoot. There is still some more work to do before the final shoot.















I also tried some rolling shots, but I had the shutter speed too quick, so you cant really tell.









Let me know which ones you guys like...Comment

As far as getting shine out of the dashboard, door cards, & center console...instead of using something like Armor All or any shine/cleaning products, use Olive Oil.
The Vitamin D in olive oil makes the plastic clean & restores the shine without it being obnoxiously shiny or greasy. If you rub it enough evenly throughout all surfaces, it'll look naturally clean. I regularly clean the dash on my car with olive oil & I also don't have any cracks, especially in the hot TX sun.

I have been busy with school so I have been doing a little bit here and there. Hence the reason for not too many updates.
Here is stuff I have done inthe past week or so.
You may have noticed, but the side skirts were droopy. I finally installed the clips i have had forever. lol


I painted behind the grille black, to hide any overspray

I cleaned the windshield gasket, and applied the lock. This has to be the most annoying thing i have done on the car yet




How the hell did you get up there??? She was watching me

Removing the backseat to asses the fuel light problem. I think I have got it

All done

Looking for the problem with the central locking system

To get to the components. The drivers door stripped

All the parts I removed

All done

While I had the door apart I took the lierty to add these covers under the mirrors

The back drivers side door would not lock, so I changed the locking actuator

All done

The back passenger door handle was broken so I swapped that out


All done

I tore the trunk apart looking for the problem with the locking system.

All clean. Yes i know I need a new carpet, lol
