Why did you go the route of putting molding back on?
I was opposed to the "Sport" look or debadged look. My intent was to restore to the state that it rolled off the showroom floor in September 1995.
are you restoring it? or whats the big deal about putting money into stuff that may not be needed??
Yea - restoring. I was going to "cash for clunker" it but the $4500 was just not worth it. I keep good care of it and it was running great. I used the $5000 that I was going to use for down payment for a new one and put it into restoration. Now it's like having a new "classic"!
Curious about the pricetag
Exterior was $4300 + tax. I'm up to about $700 (so far) on the interior.
Wheels look awesome, and if I was you I would just remove the roof rack. Oh and paint the front bowtie black!
Really want to keep the rack. I am going to give it another month or 2 to try to find a new one, and then worst case, the body shop will paint it for me. Hmm, I might try out the black bowtie!!!
I'll post some pics of the interior resto in a couple of days that I am personally doing. In the meantime, I've posted some before and after pics here...
