a little restoration story
Pertyful
The interior was next after I had the floors done.
Window cranks, doors, dashboard, console, ... the works.
Center console
The center console was in bad shape. | ||
Here a close-up of the initial condition. | ||
I took it apart, cleaned and painted it. | ||
Expediting the drying process. | ||
The overworked console. | ||
This is one of the few Mustang parts which are expensive to replace. Glad I got away with fixing it. |
Doors
Getting ready to paint the doors. | ||
Replaced window rollers and other parts of the window mechanism. Sealed everything up again. | ||
New door sills. | ||
And new weather stripping. |
Dashboard
I had to replace the ignition (as well as the door) lock(s) and because the bezels were busted, I decided to replace them as well. | ||
The metal dashboard was scratched and the dash pad had cracks all over, so I decided to paint the dash board and replace the pad. | ||
Still a work in progress. | ||
Final result. |
Instruments & Steering wheel
I replaced the clear front bezel after diassembling and cleaning the gauges. This was also a good time to replace the instrument bulbs. | ||
Steering column is wrapped to prevent scratches during the mounting of the instrument panel. | ||
Cleaned the steering wheel (horn ring). I poured a bunch of paint into the dimples and let it dry laying flat over night. | ||
Worked like a charm. |
