Here's some more pics.
Ripped headliner down and replaced it with some cool fabric I picked up at the fabric store. Did the sunvisors the same way. Used extra fabric to make mini tonaeu (sp?) cover for the back hatch.Painted dash so it kinda looks like wood grain. Painted rims white. Had new decal made for front windshield sine the other one was too small to see.

Didn't do nothing but drive her to work again. It's amazing how a bottle of seafoam and a full tank of 89 makes her drives so smooth and new. This weekend is the great American seafoam bath

ivantheigor: But my mortgage would be like ten times what it is! I used to live down in the Kittery/York area, and my uncle was a lobsterman out of York and had a house right on the beach. His house should have been condemned, but because of his location, the property alone was valued at 1.6 MILLION! Yeah, right! The heat sucks, for sure, but Ill stay in Northern Maine where its not hot for long and I can sit in the house in AC or go out on the river and keep cool. Just not good for driveway mechanics.

Finally figured out how to mount the overhead console I got from the junkyard.
Now I have a new, non-sagging black headliner with a black speaker bar, and the overhead console with map lights. It really looks great. All that's left for me to do now is figure out how to wire up the trip computer. If that doesn't go as planned, I'll make the space into a new switch panel

Fabbed up and painted the flat belly pan. I can't wait to smash my way up a 5 foot ledge with the belly pan and the rear arms!
