I just got a quote from the apholstery guy on his labor to make me a new seat cover. I provided the material which amounted to around US$30.00, he would provide the foam, lining and labor total amount of US$70.00 He starts on Thursday. It should be done in a week.

Painted the instrument panel sub-assembly flat black. This one I only used spray can but applied a coat of epoxy primer.








Assorted rubber grommet for the wiring harness and to plug some holes.



The glove box I got from ebay. Used but much better than the one I had. Complete with screws, light and switch.



Buffed the glass but still has the swirl marks. I need to redo it again.





Got it installed.

Got the material to replace the headliner which turned brittle and really looks bad.
