niiiice ride! how did you get your dash out???
You gotta pull the windshield, and then you can pull all the bolts along the top of the dash. Pretty straightforward after that.
Yeah, I'm pleasantly surprised how well it's turning out. It looked like I was going to have a ton of imperfections when I put down the first couple of coats (lots of little bubbles, slightly drippy and uneven) but after drying for two days the paint has laid down nicely. I started on the 800 grit and it's already very smooth to the touch. It's a good option for a car like this that had lots of little issues all over the body because it seals it well, looks good and costs less than $100.
If anyone is interested, this is the video that had the best tutorial about it. You're limited on color choices, but the results are better than what I see come out of some body shops here for much more $$$. Just takes some patience and elbow grease :glasses7:
I recommend muting your speakers if you don't like electronic rap beatz.

Thanks for the offer on the wiper motor, but I got anxious and ordered a new one online.
I spent a good 10 hours making a headliner yesterday.
Step 1. Steal the bamboo mat off the porch. Begin dismantling in separate location.

Step 3. Profit!-- er, Headliner!
Also changed the diff gear oil. I could smell it from the moment I took off the filler plug. It felt like mud. True dinosaur juice.
I call it a Beiber-skin dash :geek:I think your dash needs a haircut
Nah, not really any mods. I cranked down the torsion bars up front and put 2.5" blocks in back. Also running itty bitty tires. 175/70-14 if I remember correctly. My cousin and I bought em on the cheap to roll the car around with and they just kinda stuck around.
Low, slow and cheap is the philosophy on this car.
Thanks for all the love !
