Excellent. They had been NLA for a period of time. Glad to see they did another run of them.

Today I charged the battery and made sure all the speakers and my special radio harness worked..they did..

I also decided to clean and paint the front grille and emblem..Didnt know the emblem was stainless also..I assumed with the rather sloppy paintjob it had on it ,it was cheap plastic..hehe. Taping around the letters, specially inside was a pain...

And Finally I think all the trim bits have been painted

The emblem is not stainless. It's die cast aluminum with thin plating and the black out paint.

I always thought it would be cool to replicate one in stainless though. fwiw stainless would be noticeably heavier than that one.

Your refresh looks awesome.

I decided to finish getting the tail lights screwed in... I'm thinking that its the first time in 16 years that they been actually screwed into the fascia by more than one screw.

For those playing at home, here is how it looked when I first got the car...all smiley...lol

The rear fascia was so outta wack that the holes wouldnt line up between the fascia and taillights...my solution...Cut up a coat hanger and inserted the rods into the holes and used them to help push and pull the taillights into alignment....The right side took around 40 minutes of fiddling, pulling, cussing and pushing to get all the screws in...the left side went in pretty easy

Of course...after I got all the screws in, I had a thought... 'Did I actually attach the power to them?' Luckily I had..tested again to make sure I had all my lights.

Hopefully over time the taillights and fascia will relax into the current shape so I dont need to fight so much if I need to remove or replace them ever again.
