The interior (archive)

The previous owner (I mention him a lot, don't I?) took meticulous care of the exterior and interior. I had already switched the front seats as the drivers bolster was starting to show some wear.

Hands-free analog cell phone. I don't do cell phones. Completely removed as a weight-saving measure. Replaced rear center console where holes had been drilled. Removed antenna and wires.

Rear parcel shelf. Everyone asked me why it was blue. I said, "hand built, who knows, maybe the guy liked it or they were out of black". Wrong. It is not colorfast, and the sun bleached it a beautiful blue. Replacement says "NOV 1991". Too cool.

Previous owner installed an Interstate battery two years ago. They failed to install the vent tube. Some rust spots were starting under battery. Sanded to paint, primed and painted with Rustoleum. When dry, I installed an adhesive backed vinyl sheet to keep from happening again. Bought vent tube (like $3), installed it.

Seat belts. The mounting bolts had been replaced with these beg heavy eye-bolts. Ordered correct parts, replaced. After the fact I realized this was probably the remnant of a racing seat belt installation. I knew the car had seen some track time...

Microfilter. Missing. What a pain to install.
