As I was reassembling my door panels today after doing the window felt fix, I wanted to tackle another project. The fir trees in my door trim ‘pillar’ piece that runs up the rear of the drivers side door from the door panel to the head liner had worn out fir trees. Whenever the upper […]
Been busy lately and haven’t had much time to work on the car. Have a feeling that a lot will be getting done in the next few months, though. First up, something that has been on hold for a while. I have been waiting on replacing my window felt with the Ford Probe crossover part […]
I have wanted to replace the old foam under the parcel shelf carpet for some time now. The middle section that goes over the fiberglass has cracked and been flaking off the rubber top, and the foam has a bad odor to it. When the car sits closed for a while it definitely is noticeable. […]
Just of note, I didn’t fully follow the instructions to the letter that came along with Leatherique. It says to leave the car in the sun for several hours to get the interior nice and hot, or use a blowdryer. My goal was to leave it in the garage as in the Florida sun the […]
Well, the car has made its return from storage back home yesterday. Got a LOT accomplished. In regards to the stereo system, with the help of a friend we first started by cutting and splicing in the new radio harness to the old car wiring, and removing all the old speaker wire. We ran new […]

When I went and replaced the front speakers, for some reason the front drivers side still had no sound until I spliced the […]
Today I also finished piecing back together the kneepads and steering wheel cover that I removed when cleaning/adding LEDs to the binnacle of the DeLorean. I had stripped a bolt and fixed it which is why it was not finished with the original work. But, the big task accomplished was the removal of the center […]
Thanks to DeCobra for describing how to go about doing this in this thread. As mentioned in the above thread, I picked up a nice piece of vinyl from JoAnn Fabrics (not sure how nationwide they are) but I am sure any arts & crafts store would sell the same stuff. The sell two types, […]
Ever since I have picked up the car, the sticker on the A/C panel was crooked. I had tried previously to heat it up and shift it to no avail. Today I ran it under hot water and then peeled it back and reseated it. Looks good now!
