    Changed out the vent window frames, Friday, turned out to be a larger task than I imagined, I am sure there are some tricks to this but it's by no means "easy"! All new gaskets, no more whistling wind noise, now to install sound dampener!

    Also got a factory center console, now to find someone to recover it, wonder if I can find matching factory material?

    Turns out you can in fact polish a turd! Not bad for 27 year old paint!
