Hello,
I just came across your post about headliner. May I ask did you simply reuse the original fa ric? If so, how did that go? What glue did you use?
Mine is long over due.
Thank you!
Happy new owner here. I bought it today...

Bought this car back in 2011, and hasn’t changed much visually (had the wheels semi-refurbished, CSI kit, euro headlights). Definitely needs some love aesthetically. We’ll get there. Regardless, can still appreciate the lines on it.
I happened to be making some runs up on the Angeles Crest highway back in 2020, when someone flagged me down to grab some shots. Made me fall in love with the car all over again.

They came with car in a much tackier version, fully chromed. Had them "refurbished" not long prior to these pictures being taken iirc. I'm inclined to belive they're reps, but haven't done the digging to verify it. As far as aesthetics, I think they have days where they look amazing on the car, but its hit or miss for me. I think I prefer a few other sets I that I haven't gotten around to dropping a deposit on haha. The refurbish definitely made me happier sitting on these for a bit longer though hah.
Your m-pars are definitely a step above the others on my list. I'd honestly love seeing the style 21s back on this car. There was a guy who posted further up, that had the perfect set of RFs. Made me eager to get some new shoes

Only 2000 miles in last 4 or 5 years, bit neglected to be honest. Currently 192K and (for now) running perfectly. Recent work:
Replaced both exhaust mufflers (very rusty, rest of exhaust ok)
Replaced one MAF for check engine light
Cleaned both throttle bodies for EML light (one was pretty good as I'd done it before, other was terrible and still had original security bolts)
New cabin filters
Max Lumens booster rebuild to fix leak
Replaced throttle pedal bushings when in there
Sparkplugs
Replaced two soft fuel lines above tank on right side (left side done already)
Looks not bad, from a distance, in the rain.
