Temporary Carpet Install (( 04-27-24 ))
 

I happen to have a Stock Carpet that will be installed for what is left of the summer. Over the
Winter it is going to a local Interior Shop to do a custom carpet install.

Temporary Tape to keep the carpet from shifting.

Drivers Door Adjustment (( 05-15-24 )) This is going to Suck
 

So, The drivers door needs to move forward and I am going to need a second hand. The plan is to get it ready for that 2nd hand.

Pulling the inner fender and moving that back into the attic office.

Another while we are here moment.

Now it is neatly attached to the Power Steering hose.

I am going to have to wait for a second person to remove the fender and adjust the door forward.

Removing the headlight bucket and then the inner fender

Door Alignment and TMI Seats going in (( 05-27-24 ))
 

I did the popsicle stick trick to see how far off the door is and labeled the tape with the specific gap at each point.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...e94c10b-me.jpg

I brought the TMI Seats up from the basement and either I am getting weak or they are heavy.

I figured this was a good time to vacuum the carpet with the mini shop vac.

Prepping for the Fender Removal (( 05-30-24 ))
 

There is so much that has to be removed just to adjust the drivers door one popsicle stick forward. I think these Fender braces are from Ride-Tech and I love how they look.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...a844893-me.jpg

Thankfully I installed a nutsert which makes this task much easier.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...922d177-me.jpg

All of this has to come off

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...a4c02dd-me.jpg
