Making progress on all fronts
Well, I got the little rust issues fixed to my satisfaction. I also got the headliner problem solved. The headliner I bought had an issue where it separated from the foam that was attached to it, literally falling on my head. The foam was sorta greasy feeling, so I didn't want to re-use it. I searched all over the darn island for some foam. A fabric shop(one of two we have) directed me to a Nicaraguan guy who does upholstery work. I ended up paying the guy $180 to put up new foam and a new vinyl headliner from stock he had on hand, plus recover the sun visors. The foam he used was thicker than the foam that came with the headliner I bought, and it cuts the noise and solar heating a bit vs the other one. After sitting the car in the sun a couple of days without the headliner falling, I am calling it good. Today, I put in the rest of the interior, except for the panel on the tail gate, which I'm still trying to figure out how to attach without drilling holes in it. Took it for a drive, and must say its significantly quieter than without all the interior panels! Imagine that.
Am not happy with the MSA/Retro Belt seat belts I bought. I just don't like how much room the retractor takes up. Heck, I can't even push the seat all the way back without the back of it rubbing on the retractor mechanism. I'll figure something out, or maybe I'll go back to the original belts. Speaking of belts, I still gotta install the luggage straps.
It's nice to have a dome light again!
