I had planned on getting a ton of little things done, but slow was the only speed I could whip out. So, here is all I got done.
I replaced one hatch support. It will now stay up. Also for anyone that wants to know, ONE support “DOES NOT” support the hatch by itself. IDK why I thought I could take a support off with out using a 2×4 to hold the hatch or something. I’m such a newb. The result, however, was the hatch closing on my arm. Needless to say is was very uncomfortable. And seeing how my left arm was caught and my right arm couldn’t reach the hatch to open it… I had a hard time freeing myself. They are “heavy”. Nonetheless, I walked away with my arm but not my pride.
I ditched these shitty things.
Next, I re-did my driver door gasket with “t-top” gasket trays for the body. it really didn’t help because i already sealed it off with Silicone. so I didn’t do the pass side because I didn’t want to make a non-leaking door become a leaking door.
Most excitingly was the carpet. I finally got around to swapping the carpet to graphite. Let me say this, IMO the carpet is the most important color swap. The interior didn’t “look” all that different with all the other swapped parts until I swapped the carpet. It changed the whole look of the interior.
Here are a few pics I snapped over the install.
Fixing a little rust:
Bad pic because it was completely dark but it shows I finished about 10pm. :-\ The only thing left to swap is the door panels.
