Had some distraction but back on it tonight. I'm doing a bit of bouncing around here.

Cleaned up the dash and used some vinyl conditioning too, it's a little silly with the cracking on the corners but it looks and feels way better.



Same with the carpets, solid scrub and and it's much happier. While I was installing these I fiddled with the hand brake lever, got the latching mech to work again after bending the sprung release lever back into shape.

After


I moved the car out into the driveway to make some space in the garage for a bit and found out that the hand brake ratchet isn't the only problem with the hand brake, I get no movement at all from the caliper. (video of the hand brake vs peddle) I'd love some advice on that but I'm assuming I need to remove these calipers and see what kind of damage the screw thingies have.

Adjusted the handbrake and discovered the plastic around the cable is cracked and binding up, keeping the handbrake from returning all the way. Waiting for some replacements to come in the mail.

I also got it registered and drove it around for the first time! Little video of putting around
