One Step Closer

Post by alans 64 »

HIt another milestone this week. got the upholstery in. thanks to Jake @ falcon comets in Seattle. workman ship is excellent. had a local shop install them. did about a 98% job. couple of things to be looked at, but all in all good. here are a few shots of the interior and several hours on the valve covers. still like detailing the trunk and getting the roof rail w/s but $250 is a slight chunk for 2 pieces of rubber. more to come as it comes.

Nice. Makes me want to tint my windows so people can't see my interior.
