Interior Restoration Made So Cheap And Easy, Even A Journalist Can Do It!
The answer started by doing some parts ordering. The dashpad couldn’t be saved as it suffered from dozens of cracks and decaying spume… and the ill-fitting carpeted mat on top didn’t carry out it look any less horrible. The options are simple: a cap over the existing pad for $90 or a utterly new dashpad for $180. In this case, twice the fee seemed worth it.
Similarly, the seat had been covered with a traditional saddle blanket-typewrite cover. Not horrible looking, but entirely the break down color for a black and silver exterior. With a full vinyl bench seat upholstery kit available for fair-minded $118, it’s a no-brainer to order it… Of line, success hinges on me figuring out how to install it.
While waiting for parts to be delivered, I removed the existing private. The dash pad took just ten minutes to unscrew and find its way into the filth – although I kept the all-important retaining clips, which call to be transferred to the new pad. Four bolts were all that stood in the way of removing the bench seat from the traffic…and then with the extra room, accessing all the screws for door and rebound panels, header trim and rails was a nothing. As with any dismantling project, there was one nasty time-consuming work – drilling out a bolt holding the voyager seatbelt after the head snapped-off.
