Update time:

So yesterday I'm getting ready to put the car up on jack stands as its time to start tackling the brakes/suspension and before I get to it...I notice that the tan vinyl on the tonneau/convertible top cover doesn't match my interior....I knew this before...but for some reason it just bothered me today...so it was time to get to work...here is the end result....I still need to properly tackle/buff this area....







Ok...so then finally she's up on jack stands...and I was only able to get one wheel off...didn't want to wake the baby...oh...rusty hubs FTL.



more to come....slowly but surely she'll get there.

(Semi useless) Mod update...installed a second light in the trunk lid...had one sitting around took me 5 minutes...pictures to come I guess

[Kwaaahhh]

I was just wondering what was under the trunk lid covering. My vinyl is starting to bubble and I was thinking of removing it and painting it. I am surprised they painted the convertible lid with paint, clear coat and then covered it with vinyl. I figured it would be paint only. Good news and thanks for posting this.
