    very awesome. reading this gave me a renewed sense of working on a car with my son when he gets older and getting his first car. it looks like so much fun!


    what kind of mirror electronics issues are you having? i believe face lifted coupes didnt have "ribbon" cable mirrors like the sedans. they still had the new bus style mirror electronics where the driver side is the module and the passenger is the slave but the cables were 2 x 3 wire connectors instead of 2 x 3 wire ribbon wire connectors. the driver side is the commander and if the driver side fails.. then both mirrors will not work at all with the mirror switch but the passenger side will still tilt down in reverse since that's an independent pass through function. if the passenger side is dead then the driver side will still work on its own but the passenger side will not work with switch or tilt.


    how was that 3M headliner spray? i almost got it but was worried about the high heat part with fabric coming loose in the summer time from high heat.


    awesome work!

    Thanks, Nextelbuddy. It's definitely a fun hobby to share with family members.

    I have exactly the symptoms you describe with the mirrors. I could have sworn I saw a ribbon cable running back behind the mirror housing on the driver's side and into the car, but I'll definitely let you know once I get back into it. The heated mirror glass attachment was ribbon cable. I kind of hope it is just a ribbon cable break issue. Those motor parts are crazy expensive. I guess I could always scavenge a junk yard for the electronics, but they might fail soon after given their age.

    I really liked the 3M headliner spray. I was actually planning on using another 3M adhesive, but I couldn't find any locally. Whether the 3M headliner spray will last through a summer, I do not know. I would think it would be able to withstand high heat given its intended usage, but who knows. I'll put up a warning if it all comes sagging off again. I like it because it dries clear, and it has good workability. It's almost like a workable contact cement (oxymoron, I know). It's forgiving. It also has an adjustable nozzle for vert or horz spray pattern, and comes out something like Silly String. It makes multiple lines of glue. You make a cross-hatch pattern by spraying several coats in one orientation, then spraying 90 degrees to that. I also used a throw-away art brush to apply glue to tight areas. I would basically spray the glue, wait a few minutes for it to begin to get tacky, then begin laying the fabric on it gently, and then pressing all over once I was satisfied. I had very few instances of bleed-through doing it this way. What little did come through, I wiped very gentle with a circular motion using a black microfiber towel soaked in Goof Off Professional. I was trying to lift the glue from the fibers of the fabric without soaking the adhesive under the fabric. If you do use Good Off Pro, don't let it get on any plastics that show. It can mar the surface. I recommend doing all of this outdoors if possible. Lots of VOCs. Whew!

    Thanks for the info on the SEM Classic Coat. Many of our arm rests could use a little love. I see it on amazon for @$16. Where did you find it?

    Where did you get the car? VA?

    According to Page 1, he found the car near Baltimore: http://www.zhpmafia.com/forums/showt...near-Baltimore
    SEM products can often be found at auto body supply places like Mattos or Pro Finishes Plus, and sometimes NAPA.
