Thanks! I plan to eventually sell it. I'm going to take a bit of a hit when I do sell, so I plan on enjoying the car for a while first.

Thanks. Attention to detail is what I'm going for, I wan't the car to look new or as close as possible when I'm done.

I wish I was somewhere with more SC's. I hate having to pay a premium to have everything shipped to me.

Yeah, now if only I could sell it for anywhere near that amount. Will definitely keep up on the updates.

Thanks for the generous offer. I actually ended up repairing the harness and everything's working great.

Got a few new parts in today thanks to the lovely folks at Sewell.

Brand new center vent, key cylinder trim ring, and bottom seat plastics.


New next to nasty old lower seat plastic trim.


Also picked up a brand new driver door map pocket. Couldn't find a suitable used one that wasn't torn to pieces so I decided to go all out and order a new one.


And a picture of the rear interior installed. Sorry about the plastic, I have it covering everything to keep the interior clean while I'm working on it.

How much did you spend on the new parts? Is it possible to get a price list?
