Finally got around to doing the B-pillars. I chose 3M satin black vinyl, turned out pretty good! Next I'll need to replace the lower weatherstripping right there, and the side rear window surround to bring it together.

I got it from Ebay, $17 for a 60" x 12" roll. I have extra left over if you need some!

Looks great. Glued on or self adhesive? Has anyone tried to paint that piece? John

It's self adhesive, even had tiny little air channels so you don't get bubbles when installing. 3M Series 1080 vinyl.

Not sure if anyone's tried painting it, I decided to go vinyl since it's not permanent if I messed up.

Thanks for the information. Today after work, I removed the two, cloth covered, plastic A pillar pieces. The cloth had become dingy and loose over the years. I re-glued the cloth with all purpose adhesive in a spray can, smoothing out the wrinkles. After pieces dried (quickly), I then cleaned the cloth with foam carpet cleaner, and a mild plastic bristle brush. The whole process, drying times included was less than an hour. They look close to new. Cheers, John

New-old'ish door cards from England.
There from a basic model. So I remobed the old hardware and I've resened and fiberglassed the weak area's by the door pull.

next step, let everything cure than cut away the bits covering the holes.

Well, I'm going to pic up a Ti today. I guess that qualifies as what I did to my car. Actually, I'm purchasing it for my GF. But I will be maintaining it so I guess its' technically mine.
'97 Ti, auto, white, 99K miles. Looks good and drives good. Owner has agreed to have the headliner fixed prior to sale. Needs exterior detailing (T-day weekend job for me). Interior is cloth.

Replaced the stock muffler, which was developing rust holes. The pipes, resonator and cat converter were all in fine shape. My indy mechanic, who operates a Meineke franchise, found one that substituted and fit perfectly.

Happy Thanksgiving!
