Amazing work keep it up

 

Some of those parts replaced made world of a difference, excellent work.

 

brand new leather trim, door panels, headlights; wow!

 

It does look good. Very impressive for the oem look.

 

Inspiring. That all has had to cost you a pretty penny. Whoever gets that car next is a lucky sob! Nice job!

 

Thanks once again for all the encouraging compliments. I'm finally on the home run stretch of finishing this thing. I didn't quite think it would be a two year project, but I wanted to do a proper restore and not cut corners. After it's all said and done I'll post the final numbers it took to restore this SC.

 

SC is coming along very nicely... Hard to believe the sticker price was 46k 17yrs ago...

 

So time for another small update on my super slow progress.

I decided purchasing all new interior panels wasn't reasonable, plus mine were in good shape, just a bit faded. I decided to have them all redyed and see how they turn out. I took them to a local upholstery shop as I didn't feel confident I could get an exact color match with SEM paint. Below is the pictures of the results. They were a perfect color match to the new map pockets I had purchased and the cost was very reasonable compared to the $2000 the new panels would have cost. I also tested the finish on a few hidden areas and it seems very durable. The only thing i noticed in the images was the photos exaggerated the color difference of the plastic components. Doing this also helped me save money for the carpet, which I will be purchasing new very soon.

I keep making this think take longer and longer to get put back together, I've decided now that I'm in this far I might as well not cut corners. When I get the interior more together I'll post some pics.

 

Kudos to a most excellent restoration of your SC!!! Very nice work, and attention to detail. Your dedication is inspiring. Keep up the good work!

I didn't think I would have this kind of patience either. It's hard to believe it has been almost two years now.
