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...

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
