thanks guys...

this is a trial fit, put a screw in each corner. still have to take it apart and mastic seal the upper frame to the roof. heres a little before and after.

might blow some black on those little bracket covers, they've gone chalky...

Long time since I've seen a pop up glass sunroof. I remember I had on in my Gemini back in late '80's. went to close it one day and it just exploded. Nice work Ryder.

 

[hi_ryder]

thanks man

yeah the the date stamps on it are from like 99-2000, and that would have been the end of its production run (hollandia 100), so it went well with the velvet...

what can i say... pimps touch on a ho's budget, thats how i roll....

 

[hi_ryder]

keeping the red theme going... never sprayed calipers before and i asked the dude at the counter (super cheap) what the coverage was like, was 1 can enough for 4 calipers. he was like 1 can does 2 calipers. i did 4 coats on the 2 front sets and i recon i have enough for another 6 calipers.... guess ill have an extra can...

Lol. Rookie mistake asking super cheap for advice. I asked a question there once. Was told by the pimplie face git "oh dunno. I don't know much about cars". Lesson learnt. Calipers look the goods Ryder.

 

[hi_ryder]

cheers

yeah i think next time ill ask one of you paint guys. im painting them cause i think im going to use the grange wheels on this car which means the calipers are right out in in the open. the back set are caked with like 10 cracked coats of caliper paint, they look like a holy cluster ####. stripping them will be fun...

also i dont know if you can see it in the pic but someone had the bright idea of spraying stone guard over 2 inches of greasy dirt, theres a pile of it wire brushed off buy the jack stand. i wish i could have been standing behind them while they did it, CROWNED with a frying pan...

my mum used to have a datsun 280zx targa and that roof liner brings back memories. it had a red velour interior.

are you going to cover the pillar trims in the same material or just the roof liner?
