So far, I’m removing:
- Seats
- Door cards
- Steering wheel
- All leather components (for restoration and leather painting)
- Headliner (will be reupholstered)
- Rear hat tray to replace (first aid plastic trim is broken)
- All fabric-trimmed pieces
- Replacing the speakers
- Changing the telephone antenna seal
- Cleaning and soundproofing hidden areas ( by the way of someone had some tips for soundproofing I am all ears)
I’d love to hear any recommendations—even small details that are easy to forget but make a difference, like:
- Replacing door card bulbs
- Checking wire harnesses
- Fixing seatbelt mechanisms
- Cleaning sunroof drains
- Lubricating moving parts
- Upgrading to LED interior lighting
Thanks in advance for your help!
