    Got some work done and tried my hand interior work.

    Removed
    • wiring harness
    • heater box
    • radiator
    • headlights
    • and the grille
    I know its not much but it is progress. I also attempted to re-vinyl the dash and for my first attempt it seemed to turn out okay.
    I just sanded down the original surface, filled the cracks with expanding foam, re-sanded it and started the extensive task at wrapping it in vinyl.

    Dash pad looks great, better keep it on the down low or the Just Dashes mafia will come looking for you! I'm sure they wouldn't be happy if the general population finds out you can do it yourself rather than spend a gazillion dollars having them fix it!
