Just the tip of ice berg... 86 442 redo

[MR442]

Well I posted about my 442 before . Its basically been indoors since 87 . Today I finished the yard work and thought I'd take I little look to see what none mechanical stuff in need of being done.

The 10 minute run down out side

all seals on t tops need replaced
doors soft and good
clean window trim
grill and head light peeling paint
Paint in general as the factory was trash in 86 and way worse now.
small dent trim top front door (got new one for it in 88 )
small surface rust spots below key hole in truck . Common?
clean rims not to bad but usual low spot rust marks
the eagle Gts still look fine no cracks

interior
head liner sag . this was kept in climate low humidity controlled area hate to see one that was run looks like.
few small scuffs on interior dash panel by light switch/above radio most would not even notice them fine other wise

The mechanical stuff like check everything comes first before anything but it was a nice day . No funds now any why I'm laid off again.

If my car has been stored all its life and needs just above on outside. I commend all you guys that have daily drivers for how nice you keep them .
