so much work to do... only one of me. tonight i'm installing new door handles and a front license plate bracket.
thank you!
guys, did some more work last night and this morning, had the windshield replaced...
i installed a front license plate bracket, i installed new mirrors, and new lower window trim on the doors... also, installed two brand new exterior door handles... right now, the windshield trim is drying. when the car was repainted, all the trim was painted too... ugly. so, since the window trim was already off the car, i decided to sand it down, prime it and paint it. here are the pics...
that's a lot of work. good job. i know doing resto work is hard work. done it myself a few times. i need to get the moldings done on my 93 also. luckily i have the upper over the door windows already. but its a pita to remove the door panels and have them tight again when reinstalling. should have done the lower trim when they were off. :bash:
for the paint. try a clay bar, scratch x and a wax. if that doesn't work. professional detailer, and/or repaint later

Your bumper cover looks like mine: like someone shot it with bird shot! Great restoration--mine will be next.
I wish you were closer, I could work magic on that paint

in that case, i wish you were closer too. :lol:
yeah, the paint is jacked up on this car. pics make it look better than it really does. i've only had the car a week and a day, and it's already done a complete 180. i'm having a blast with this car too. one day, i'll have this car looking showroom new again. can't wait.

Hey your car is looking nice! just was gonna let you know, my friend had his leather redone with correct material on his teal-93, it was approx 600 to do both front seats, a little pricey, but they look showroom condition...
ouch. that is pricey. the driver seat need new foam and everything. i'll just keep my eyes peeled for a nice set of GT seats.
on another note, today i installed new headlights... tossed the crystal clear ones for a set of stock style with no amber reflectors...

What did you do with the crystal ones?
Joe
from the looks of this after pic, your going to have some stuff for sale soon.... lol.. lookin better and better
long story short... i just finished up an 89 GT... i got the "new" lights for Christmas from my in-laws. so, i just swapped lights on the car... the crystal ones are on the GT now.
i always have lots of stuff. see anything you want?
Dam was gonna see if you wanted to part with them.Have anew sets to trade ya lol
Joe
I bought a set of the crystal ones from 50resto and the day after they were installed, I washed my new hood and I watched the water *trickle* into my new, 150.00 headlights. I still like them but, you know...I had to get my moneys worth. I ordered a six-set with Ford headlights. Hopefully they won't leak for a few years...Your car looks great. I like you documenting the restoration here for us. Exciting seeing something new every day/couple of days.
oh man, you don't want them... one fogs up, and there are a couple cracks... you're better off without them. :beer:
excellent. glad you like it.
i don't post all the pics, so you can see them all here:
