Featured Restoration under way

[L83]

Well with the cold temperatures starting and winter just around the corner I decided to store the ‘84 and start my interior restoration.
Removed the passenger door panel, changed both interior and exterior glass sweeps then re-dyed the door panel and bottom carpet panel as well as changed the arm rest color from saddle to black.
Tomorrow onto the driver door

Thanks … Taking me back to Sept 84 … buying my 1st Brand New Chevrolet positioned beside the Corvette that I could not stop checking out.
Settling and was definitely not complaining to nab a Bright Red Z28 that looked just like the Brochure.

Winter is the time for rep[airs/restoration. doing some myself and it's always gratifying once the job is complete.

 

[L83]

I totally agree ..nothing like saying you did it!

Finally attacked the rms today..not too bad and easier than I thought, just a lot of elbow grease and multi-grades of sandpaper finished with Mother’s polish and fine steel wool

Before and after shots
