The hope is to save the skins, and transplant on the two best foams and frames. 

As far a purple power on sun visors,  i wouldn't recommend. Rmthe one time i tried my purple power and a hose on headliner it ended with a destroyed headliner.  Now, the dawn/vinegar/hot water my wife used on this headliner....

You're welcome,  and im a blessed father to have her enjoying this with me. 

Dunno if she's ever going to do her own. But she likes helping me and hanging out. 

Try the vinegar/dawn/warm water mix on your sun visor

Is there a secret ratio on these ingredients for the desired cleaning results????

Jenn said 1/4 cup white vinegar,  1/4 cup warm water, and a few drops of dawn. Shake, put in spray bottle. Use to soak spot for a couple of minutes. Blot/wipe with microfiber towel is what we did.

that'll do. Rebuild the driver seat. Dye the floor mats, buid a good console out of the four i have, and interior is done.

Shouldn't have been that hard.....

 

I think my next trick is clean up shop, reset for roof repaint. And fix the shop winch.

Trapper keeper was pretty much a three ring binder with a velcro flap and awesomeness. This is as close to the one i had as a kid that i can find. You should look them up and relive your kids childhood.

about two hours of work and it will be on the stand. 

This car (E36 M3box) is too nice to be a parts car, but not nice enough to NOT be a parts car for the acr. Hopefully brap is able to take the whole thing with him instead of just the body sections he onows he needs.

Where are you finding all of these 1st gen neons? All i ever see are short track banged up junk. Your parts car is in better condition than anything i have seen in the last year.

North Carolina,  south Carolina,  and Georgia. Gotta be in the hunt to find them though. Mostly mislabeled,  poorly advertised, and crappy communication from the sellers. 

 

Look within 150 miles of Charlotte nc and you should fing good ones. Also join all the neon groups on Facebook. Again,  gotta be in the hunt.

Console was easy. Pulled all out of storage this morning. Cleaned with superclean and a scrub brush. The only other dark agate console i had was mint.

Rest go away.
