T minus 5 days for the 1000 mile trip, to go get the bumpers!
Small updates:
When I took the headliner off, i took good care not to damage it.
I thought I could clean it up, and re-install; the going rate of 200$ for a headliner was a bit too much for my taste... (Ok, Ok Eric, I can be cost-effective sometimes )
So, bought some fabric, 22$
Then, contacted a seamstress in the local paper classified:
She came to my house and left with the original headliner as a template, and the fabric...
A few weeks later she came back and gave me the final product... 60$ in labor...
This is how it turned out...
Pretty darn good IMO so its all installed, and the new hatchback seal from vintage rubber, is also installed!
A good bunch of pictures, as requested before...
