ok so i made it to minnesota and starting tinkering with the car...(cant do much with a bad wheel bearing) so i decided to start working on the interior.
the guy that had the car before me though he could paint and so he painted the console and both front door panels like this
dont have a pic of the console.. got tired of looking at the nasty orange color so i decided to repaint my interior and this is what i have so far (btw i have yet to get bored enough to redo the upholstery on the door.. but that is coming soon .
passenger rear door
front passenger door
im still in the process of working on the color to get it right where i like it so far the front doors are going to be satin black and the rear doors like a gloss satin(best i can describe it)
and as i was taking off my front driver door i got so lucky as to snap one my door handle surround
and here is the console in the gloss form not sure whether ill keep it gloss or go with the satin to match the front doors
Looking for feedback on gloss or satin
and i found a power washer in a storage room here so i went crazy power washing the deck... and decided my engine bay was too dirty so heres a before and after
BEFORE
AFTER
turns out that most of the black coloring on my valve cover was grease and muck... lol just trying to figure out what color im going with the car.. bc whatever color i go with the car with be the bay color but i want the valve cover to stand out so im gonna paint it some off the wall color(possibly) any suggestions?
also thinking about either painting my corner light plastics black(diy style) or possibly tinting them amber so i can see what it looks like just not sure if ill like the amber look especially over those crystal clear corners... can someone photoshop it and let me see what it would look like.. ill take another pic if i get a taker on the photshop thing..also considering doing an a/c delete since where we live now the record high of all time is 105 degrees in 1936 and that was a state of emergency lol
so im seriously thinking im not gonna need a/c if anyone knows of a diy on an a/c delete lemme know thanks guys
if it starts in the morning, you can drive it harder
