Headliner

The headliner didnt turn out as nice as i wanted, but now that it is installed, i think it is there to stay for a while. Making the headliner was time consuming, but not too difficult.



Stretching the material onto the frames was fun, but applying the glue and finding enough clips to fasten it was a real pain.



After applying a 8in wide strip on dynamat and a wider piece of dynaliner to the roof, Lydia helped me push the headliners into position.

Rear Windows


Lydia and I squeezed the rear windows in (barely). After wrestling with glass and seals for an hour, we discovered bicycle tire levers worked the best. We put the seals on the glass first, then stretched the inside lip of the seal over the ridge on the car using the levers. One of us had to apply inward pressure on the glass also. Im not sure if this was the correct procedure since it seemed to be the opposite of how to install a windshield, but it worked best for us.

Front Subframe




After cutting some of the sheet metal from the side of the engine bay, the subframe fit quite well. Now it needs to be powdercoated.

Tail Lights Installed


Since the rubber seals are no longer manufactured, I had to buy a sheet and make all the seals using a paper template. It took quite some time. Too bad they werent available to buy.

Door Handles Installed



I, with help from co-worker Adrian at D&G products, made some door pulls (openers) out of cable for the inside.

Doors Mounted


Hung the doors on the car, they fit well, but the bolts were hard to line up. Luckily Lydia helped out.
