between rain and life events, time got away from me on this. turns out i didn’t grab a pic today of the skylight in my original post but i did get one of the vent i cleaned up; the skylight was done the same way.

If it weren't for that "job" thing...

It's getting hard doing this renovation in the dark hours of winter an hour here and an hour there! Then there's this thing called work (the payday kind) that just keep pulling me away!

With a couple practice parts under my belt - gauge cover, glove box (pic) - I've begun the main dash re-upholstery.

As expected, there are a few unexpected things to prep and repair.

Today, it was a bit of fiberglass before dawn.

thx(!), this was the first time doing this task and using these materials and it seems to have turned out ok. i have many more things to clean / seal up there but i’m hopeful that when i put a coat of paint on up there it’ll be sealed tight for a long while.
