Sure! Sorry, life kinda got in the way of things for the last few weeks.
When I took Skiddy on the trip to Tennessee, I just tightened up the old adjustable upper control arm stuff and got out on the road with the new goodies in the trunk ( along with enough tools and balls to do the repair on the side of the road, if necessary! ) Here's what the new stuff looks like and a side by side:
Here's a torque refrence straight from the wagon FSM:
I got the pinstripe removal tool from OG VX again and cleaned up the "new" quarter panel and door. This was the last pic I had shared with OG.
These were taken today.
The driver's door is all put back together now as well. I'm using a severely faded maroon lock handle - it really looks brown!
As far as the seat covers, I hated them from jump. I got these iron on patches pretty cheap on amazon. Tan looks stupid, the TWEED or TWILL colored ones are much closer to the original material. Good enough for now..
That first interior door pic made the seat look much better (washed in light) this is closer to the truth.
Thanks,
Victor
