i started taking my interior out my 86 just to clean things up a bit. i was taking the seat belt bolt out (trying to anyways) but had a cheap set of torx bits and one broke and sliced my palm wide open so ill be out of my project for awhile ill get pics tomorrow of what i got accomplished but ill keep everything posted i think there are a few things i can still do but we will see.

quick question is there any way to restore faded panels?

you can paint them to restore but thats about it, if you have red interior you can bleed over everything to restore

Your gonna let a little cut keep you from working on your car? I cut my thumb off, wrapped a rag around it and finished installing my engine trans and painted the car all in one night. Man up!

That's nothing

When i was doing my AOD to t5 swap, i was intalling the T5 alone by benchpressing it up ALONE. It slipped, i tried to catch it, and it basically fell straight down onto my finger. It was squirting blood and I did some minor tendon damage. A trip to the E-room and a few stiches later and I was under the car again with a glove putting the trans back in!!

Actually, 4 months later, i still have trouble bending the finger
