Minor Updates:

Picked up a new heat on sale for 10 bucks!


Used this baby to remove the carpet from the door panel


I worked on both the armrest and the radio console


Like I said... not much movement this weekend. I had too much to do.

LOL - caca. I love it! So far I've been really happy with the sandable "Primer Filler". It's been great stuff. It just never occured to me the mixture of the two paints would create the crackling effect. Oh well... live and learn, right?

What a difference between the heat gun and removing the carpet with a friggin X-Acto knife - one thread at a time.

Mechanical Update:

I had the axles and rear wheel bearings replaced yesterday - what a difference! No more CLANKY CLANKY

The next mechanical fix are the front bearings, the rear calipers and the rack - UGH

I KNOW... why didn't I replace the calipers when I had the axles replaced? The parts were not available. I so I figure I'll do the remaining parts all at the same time.

Hey Greg, I just went to the junkyard today, and picked up something nice. I found THE PERFECT pull out cupholder for my center console. However, it may be a while till I get to that project..

I know, I know! I haven't even been able to touch my project for the past week or so. I'll see if I can squeeze some project/ picture time today.
