since i cant really cant spend any $ i decided to fix the door panels where the armrest is, the padded part is coming off so i removed the rear door panels, ripped the stuff the rest of the way off, pulled off the awful woodgrain frin and filled in all of the holes. im waiting for them to dry and i am looking to see if i can find some fabric to use there and on the headliner. im thinking that i might be able to find some realtree hardwood and then i want to use a pirate flag/skull and x-bones pattern on the "shade" for the sunroof since i usually leave it open, i figured it would be different and unexpected. if i cant find some fabric i like i will end up spray painting them.

so i was having some troubles, it needs a new pcm and a plenum gasket, and i over tightened the lug nuts on one of my wheels and....it came off.





so because of not being able to do much due to limited $$ i redid my headliner




and a more current picture from the pass. side

i decided to finally put the rear hatch panel back on today and i decided that while i was out there i would try to fix the hatch by moving that little pin thingy so i did. now my hatch opens!!! a little while later i was driving down the road just to let the poor thing go somewhere and i hit a bump...POP goes the hatch as it bounces up and open.................i guess ill have to go back in and adjust it....again because now it barely stays shut.
