My son had helped me strip the interior over Chistmas break, so it was only fitting to have him help reinstall the interior during spring break. Bewteen the breaks, I had the floor pan fixed, the pinholes filled and purchased the required parts. The worst of it all was cutting into the near perfect door panels that I found on eBay. I also found a set of blue sport seats out of a Thunderbird TC for use until I can afford to have the recaros refit with new skins. We spent the better part of two days putting the car back together... new carpet, seats, trim panels, etc. While the seats are temporary, they look like they belong.
So, in celebration, we pulled it out of the garage and went for a top down ride. It wasn't the nicest of days, but we managed to get a good ride in between downpours. This was the longest drive that I had taken her on, but I still kept it close to home. The car sat for 8 years, and I know the tires are that old and all the hoses are of a questionable age as well.
It made me feel good that my son wanted to help me work on this with me and he was even more happy that we got to go for a ride with the top down.
