Not hard, just a pita--especially when you're trying to lay it out without any wrinkles.

How's it coming? Any progress? For minor scratches I use a heat gun. Works pretty good.

Some quick updates. Got the rest of the interior torn out this weekend. This stuff is disgusting. The previous owner did not take care of it at all. Next step is sound deadener and speaker wiring. View attachment 429303

I'd not thought of using a heat gun to touch up panel scratches. What do you use to impart a similar texture? That's if it's needed.

I use to have my own automotive interior repair business. I had these rubber flexible patches, they were the size of your average bathroom wall tile--they had different grain patterns on them. That's what I used. When I made the suggestion I was thinking of very small minor scratches or scuffs, nothing deep. For the small scratches you want to use the lowest setting of the heat gun--don't hold it too close to the plastic panel, and just use the heat on it ever so lightly--you don't want to melt the panel. As you get practice you'll get a feel for it. I hope I explained it clearly. Sometimes I don't explain things very well.

Well i know it's been a while but I finally got the interior back together. It's going in next week to have the seats upholstery done. In the mean time, I had to have the cluster rebuilt due to a parasitic draw it was causing.View attachment 444065

What's the plan with the seats? Anything special, or stock recover?
