well, i had nothing going on yesterday and today there was a bbq hosted by another local car forum... There were going to be a few guys there that are interested in buying the delsol so i wanted to get some of the little stuff knocked out...
it turned into an all nighter.
worked on the car from 12:15pm yesterday to 8:15 this morning
I started off sorting out the suspension, fixing the sway bar end links that were busted, un-installing the coil-over front strut, and carefully cutting the stock springs that were installed on the car *remember i had an issue with the nuts on the rear struts being locked and couldn’t take them apart without destroying them*
after that was set i did a little last minute body work and started prepping the hood, fenders doors, and rear 1/4 panels for paint, also the door jambs and trunk.
I also gutted every thing from inside except the dash, steering column and upper rear trim bits.
I got the color shot on every thing and about 1am was sitting in the basement scrubbing all the interior plastics, treating the seats with stain remover, and cleaning the hell out of the carpet...
than it was just a matter of re-installing every thing...
here are the pics of the work in progress and results... i am very pleased with how every thing turned out.

didn’t have time to do any thing with the trunk panels before the re-install… they need cleaning bad
