somewhere last week I also finally went ahead and recovered the headliner. And the overhead console. Last week and this weekend are a blur of work, to be honest. Only two days are solid for me at this point (yesterday and today) so take my days as a general timeline. In the process, I finally finished up the backup camera monitor mounting (piano hinge, short screws, and some 3m trim tape), installed the autodim and temp mirror, wired the stuff. Etc.
so, Saturday morning, I backed up to the trailer, hooked up the wiring, and left out for the Albemarle Christmas parade where I was helping my wife's girl scout troop, and also, apparently, the whole countys worth of girl scouts. (had I known ahead of time about that, I woulda gotten a bigger trailer from brother Dallas).
got home from delivering the trailer back, seeing the parents, etc, and went to doing serious work.
First, note that my camera doesn't pick up just how yellowed, stained with nicotine, and bad the interior plastics were. Here's some attempts. (door panel is striking, and the passengers side was the clean one. Its before and after, essentially)
I finished cleaning and dying all the interior panels except the passengers door panel. Its still drying.
The door panel, I masked off the pad by your arm prioer to shooting with SEM dye. It tends to make carpet/cloth kind of stiff.
carpet got the same treatment
before reassembly (well, too much anyway) I went ahead and addressed the keyless entry and audio. Keyless entry has no pictures, but it was a cheap bulldog unit left over from some other project. Don t remember how much or which project, but it works.
