Resurrelica

Here’s a tentative list of things I would like to do.  Some items are more likely than others depending on whether I can find a part supply and cost.  I’m really trying to do this for not much money (most of the cost coming from the needed windshield replacement, struts replacement, and new rims/tires) , but we’ll see.

Outside:

• Repair dings/dents and repaint (same color)
• Install side skirts
• Fix loose gaskets around headlights
• Revitalize exterior rubber trim
• Clean grime from wheel wheels and just make everything black again that is supposed to be black
• Replace the original OEM wheels with silver Ace Manta rims.  The originals are bent and therefore out-of-balance from the horrible Jackson, MS roads.
• Get engine detailed (do they do that?)

Inside:

• Clean interior / Steam clean fabric
• Remove/Redo old tint on windows
• Replace rotten shifter boot
• Replace worn shifter knob
• Find leather seats from junked Celica

Overdue Repairs:

• Replace cracked windshield
• Replace the original factory struts (they have never been changed and today sound like I’m carrying around a load of bricks in the rear)
• Replace tires (rears are balding)
• Fix intermittent automatic window failure
• Fix reverse lights
• Replace hatch-back lifts (again)
• Change manual transmission gear oil
• Fix rear wiper fluid dispenser
• Replace original audio deck (The CD player barely works anymore just due to age.)
