, the plastic pieces were removed and thoroughly cleaned and prepped for "revitalization". The headliner had a few tears and was sagging in a few places. The actual structure was still in good shape, so I decided to re cover it. I choose black suede for two reasons. First I think it looks good and doesn't attract a lot of attention. Second, I like the way it feels.The spare tire area had some surface rust. That was sanded, prepped, and sprayed with some gloss red spray paint I had on the shelf. While I was back there going paint trigger happy, I was bothered by the lack of factory paint in the area that houses the jack and tools. That shortly received the same treatment as the spare tire compartment. Both are not perfect, but at least they are red.

I put a set of Supras, with goofy looking 185 series tires, on the car. Mainly because the tires are new. They are cool and all, but I don't like the color scheme. On a local drifting forum, a member was selling a set of staggered 3 piece Work Ewing II wheels. Following my rule of not paying more for the wheels than the car they will go on, I ended up paying $320. When I inspected them, I found out they were made in October of 1985. Can't get more era specific than that. Those will be taken apart for a nice cleaning, paint, and polish.
