Replaced sketchy looking seat belts with new from Securon. 
Red, so worth 5hp if I recall. 🤣

Interspersed between the brake and suspension work I have going on at the moment I also took a moment to wrap the heater controls with brown carbon vinyl. This coordinates with the same I added to the door panel trim and will add it to the instrument cluster (where newer cars have wood). Corners aren’t perfect but will look acceptable once in. 
 

also added @mo02 decals, a Christmas gift. 
 

If you want them to look like wood, why not go with a wood veneer?

I don’t want it to look like wood. I just mentioned I was also placing some of this carbon vinyl on my car where the later cars have wood around the instrument dials. 
I originally selected the brown as it was very close to the original marlite on the door panels, which I covered. After doing so it seemed odd to have that be the only place where it occurred.

Ah, I see.

Today I finished the rear corner of the outer wheel well panel
Turned out pretty well if I say so myself, when I compare it to some picture of the sedan panels you can still get new

 

Some DA cleanup on the arch

 

 

Inside of the panel also mostly cleaned up

 

 

Next up is trimming/repairing the front most section of the panel. I started with replacing a small section in the middle at the lower edge of the panel where it meets the outer sill. but still need to finish it some more..

 

I also finished welding in the small section of floor we previously repaired.

 

And added spotwelds to keep both panels together, still need to trim the top panel a little

 

Quick go over with the pneumatic grinder and some paint!

 

While I was busy with repairing the rear corner of the wheel well panel, my brother made a piece for the section of flange that was rotten. Turned out great

[Pablo M]

Satisfying progress.

Installed a spring in the sunroof handle,  first time since I've owned the car that it tucks itself up properly.

While trying to force it into position it snapped out and was was nearly lost but I eventually found it hanging in a spider web.

Bumper works continues...Test fit the rear only to find that my exhaust sits too high and contacts the underside of the bumper, also causing the bumper to sit too high.

 

 

Quick trip to my local muffler shop made for an easy fix.  Also, served as a reminder that I need to learn how to weld!

The Austin 2002 guys ending the year with a drive, low 70s and a perfect day for a Texas Hill Country drive on my favorite Cow Creek loop…
