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.

looks great! love the color. i have been debating about a yellow car for a long time. looking forward to seeing the progress. go at it so you can be driving that thing this June for Grosses Wochenende.

also, check your email for a message about the VKG site. will be a great way for you to document the progress.

No off switch. Fortunately the city is going to start subsidizing my project... it's now classified as a street light!!!

Anyway, here's a couple more shot with the windows in. The wife and I got them in today. Not too bad until we got to the doors. Man those inner scrapers are a PITA!!!! The door glass is super tight. There's no way it can rattle. I hope the windows will roll down!

I'm posting all of the pics on the VKG site too. One day I'll get around to writing up the build.
