Thanks man! Haven’t played with the navigation yet since the transmission disaster. Hopefully she’ll be up and running next week.

Continuing with the interior. My car came with red visors and since I redid the headliner, I decided it was time for the visors. Every wonder why crap goes into your eyes when you pull the visors down?

I believe that’s the glue that falls apart. That’s only one visor.

I used about 5 coats of fabric spray on the mirror cover and it still has a red tint to it. The sunroof liner will get a coat of black in the near future

looks good I did mine a few years ago headlier, and visors no pics now.

Thanks man. I’m sure all the 1g headliners today are sagging from the adhesive the factory used. My car had a non moonroof headliner that someone decided to use a butter knife to cut an opening for . Luckily I was able to find one in good shape that needed some work.

Now those looks nice. The set I picked up were powder coated black and have some rash along with years of brake dust . I might have that set redone later down the road. Got a quote of $600 to get them recoated

That's quite pricey... thought the going rate was about 100 a wheel?

It is but they have to chemically remove the old powder coat is what the guy told me

After months of her being down, she's finally fixed. She simply needed a rebuild after the clutch disc failure.

https://www.dsmtuners.com/threads/transmission-rebuild-time.527066/

Also fixed the clutch drag issue with new pp bolts and torqued to 22ftlbs, not 14ftlbs. Words can't express how relieved I am. Seriously considered selling it if the rebuild didn't fix the issue.

Cant wait to see some vids!

Cant wait to see some vids!

It’s going to be a few weeks since I have to break in the clutch and still tune wot

 

[AWD-Tony]

Ups man is my Santa .

[92AWDHX40]
