cheap, yet effective headliner ideas... Dynamat an lots of it.. 
I never wanted a red car.. always thought they were tacky and common...
I now have 4 very not common cars and they are all red.. :o

Don't think I'm getting to it anytime soon. Yours if you want it.

ordered both sides glass for 90$ shipped.  hopefully i can save and carefully remove the required metal surround pieces so i dont have to spend another 150$ a side for assemblies with frames.


hate breaking my rules of no sale with bad glass / bad paper work!
