Well since I got it running good now I tore apart the entire interior including the dash carpet etc...

Basically i replaced the dash, carpet and some odds and ends plastic pieces that i could find for cheap. I throughly cleaned everything as it looks like the car hasnt been cleaned since 1992. Its not perfect or up to my standards but since i have to take it to a buddies shop tommarow for inspection etc i had to at least get it driveable. I still need to glue the carpet in the rear seat area down work a few wrinkles in the front, get a new headliner and center console lid and then i should be good to go.

Anyway heres some pics mostly of the seats as my camera was messed up and i lost all the pics of all the details and progress i made over the past month.

i need to order all new mounting hardware and figure out the best spots to mount it as its a full lift off hood.. but i need to hold it down somehow so it doesnt fly off when im Driving the car :moon:

I figured it was a full lift off, but one hole in each corner isn't enough? Gotta stick some in the middle too?

:razz:

They are just to make it look faster.... like its so fast 4 just isnt enough to hold it on... on a serious note though im probably going to fill in the 2 in the middle they arent straight anyway

rich my dad says he needs some pics of the bottom, and that it wont be a problem for him to take care of it. i think the best bet would be to fill them all in and re-do it correctly and based on the kit you order
