My project's back from paint
Well, here she is. I included a before shot in case anyone didn't see it. I also tackled the headliner today. Not bad for a beginner. Let me know what you think.

Looking good. Now comes the fun part. I love putting one back together after all the paint/body/headliner work is done.

Yeah, it should be all downhill now! This far has been a real chore.
I don't think the pictures do the color justice. It is YELLOW!!! My wife says I should bolt a flip out stop sign on the side and take the kids to school. It's really '04 Mazda Yellow. A bit of orange, but only a hint. And I'm pretty happy about the headliner. I thought it would be a lot harder. The only real problem I had was right above the door openings. Those pinch tabs don't really pinch so well. I think I'll have to try a couple more tricks to get that just right. At the moment, I'm redoing the vent wings. What a PITA! Those seals are a good form of torture, Especially when you've been sniffing glue all day! But I have to get them done, windows need to go in tommorow. Hopefully, it will go as well as the headliner.

I've been updating my gallery on the club site, and I see everyone else has too. Good job.
Anyway, I put the eDead on the doors this weekend. I hope this stuff works out okay. I get a nice dull thud when I tap the panels now. I think I'm going to go with a mastic (Dynamat or some generic product) for the package tray and floor boards. I've got to sort out my leakage problem on the drivers side first though. I put the plastic on the doors with the hope it would solve it, but no luck. I think it is in the vent wing area. I can see a small open area through the door. But I won't put anything on that floor board until it's fixed. I'm going to try and put it all back together in the next two weeks. Maybe it'll be running by then. I've got to refinish the gas tank first though. Be a good topic for a tech article.

Thanks, but now that I've seen your car, I wish I had painted it the same color. I really like what you've done!
