    Nice to be outside again. I roughed in my new ACC carpet. The fit looks manageable. I may need some help with trimming details on the edges since I don't have the old carpet nor anything to reference.

    Painted the boomerangs, tail lights, outside of the passenger door, and the inside of the driver's door.

    Today I plasti-dipped the interior door panels. I think it came out pretty good; now I need to change out that armrest pad. Anyone know how to take that off??:huh: IMG_20150316_185301.jpg

    Theirs two bolts inside the pad look underneath it and their should be two holes, just stick a 3/8 nutdriver or socket up their

    Use a 3/8ths " NUTDRIVER ..Sometimes a " socket " will remain inside the armrest as they become dislodged when trying to remove the tool from that area..

    I fixed my shift bushings on my column that kept causing it to go into reverse. :)
    Also gave her my first wash

    Had this guy at Deltrans in Newark DE cut open my TCI torque converter and found out it was trashed. Would have cost too much to repair. Going to Tranmission Specialties tomorrow for a replacement.

    I think it was the first time I didn't have to make some type repair/adjustment before I could drive it...

    Visited the car in prison (body shop). The car is in the paint both and the engine compartment and the door jams have been painted. First time I've seen my new two color combo on the car. I'm starting to come out of my two month funk over the project.
