Dash area


I have the dash area about completed less the new wind shield. I will get it put in soon. The visors were old and moldy so I cleaned them with bleach and painted them with a plastic paint. The ashtray cover I found has a good shift pattern and all the knobs are new.

Seats


Pulled the seats apart and with the help of my father we tensioned the springs and fixed the release mechanisms and re-padded them. Waiting on the covers.

Brakes are done


Completed the master cylinder change out and finished bleeding the brakes last night. Stops very good now. I started replacing the door panels and I wish someone else was doing it. No fun.

Pulled the master cylinder out last night and it looks pretty rough. I found a replacement for 35.00 but need hoses that will resist brake fluid. I will check out a specialty auto store today and see if I can purchase the hoses and maybe have it back together by tonight.

Trunk Completed


It was getting late so this was the completed trunk liner for under 25.00. It took about 4 hours with clean up and an interruption, ( my daughter broke the washing machine, I had to hand empty the water out and move the washer to the garage). I plan to buy a master cylinder today and start to replace it tonight.

Trunk Liner


I cut the hardboard with a jig saw and glued the carpet on with a good 3m carpet adhesive.

More Brake Work


I have replaced almost everything in the brake system and it seems like the master cylinder is bad, so I took a brake from mechanical work (no pun intended) and took last night to work on the trunk liner. I made a card board pattern, and went to Lowes and purchased the hardboard and glue for about 12.00. I then found a role of cheap black carpet at O'reilys Auto parts for 10.99.
