Fixing the interior, etc.

Post by Starlite528 »

It's been taking me a long time, due to a buildup of procrastination.

I bought fabric this week to make a new shifter boot (for the auto). I bought way more than I actually needed, enough for six or seven extra, I think.

I've also been gluing the center console vinyl back the way it's supposed to be. I cut out a lot of the old foam/glue from around the edges, and use the blue sill-sealer from Lowe's to fill the space, and Polyurethane glue.

I get the glue in, put some wax paper over it, put a strip of wood over that, and use clamps to hold it for the night. (The bag of assorted clamps that costs what, $14? from Lowe's.)

Broke some plastic, so I use parts of hacksaw blades and the PU glue to mend it.

Some pics:

LoL, why take focus away from what's really important?

The glue is working great so far. It's the stuff you get that you put in a caulking gun. "PL polyurethane premium construction adhesive" It comes in a yellow tube with a red stripe and a black top, UPC 0 51527 94910 5
