Been a fun couple of weeks.
Finally pulled the trigger and got the cart professionally wrapped. And tended to a slew of outstanding side-quest projects.
Disassembled everything for the wrap
- Door handles
- Flag mirrors
- Bumper/Valence
- Hood logo
- Headlights
- Bellows (bought four new ones)
- Misc trim
- Rear tails
Decided to get it wrapped in 3M Satin Vampire Red.
This color plays with light a lot, so still need to get a proper shot in the sun.
Really happy with the transformation.
In the teardown I found that the front lower spoiler had a stripped vertical bolt.
Drilled out all the filler for the bolt and used some JB Weld and a hanger bolt to replace the damaged one. A new hardware kit from PP and it fit like new. M6x40mm hanger bolts from Amazon did the trick.
Replaced the inner door skins on both doors as well as some new 5.25" kicker speakers for the doors... the sound system is actually amazing now.
All the aux pieces that could be taken off were removed for the wrap.
Finally installed an oil cooler duct that I bought a while back, kept the theme going and had it wrapped as well.
Took two full days to get things back... have a snafu w the power mirrors.. the 87 wiring is so different than everything I can find online. And I need to figure out the headlight / turn signal wiring... they are canceling each other out.
