What did you do to the G today?
Not necessarily did it today, but more like last week.
Tore out the headliner and the a-pillars in my G last week. The a-pillars that I had wrapped in black suede started turning brown and the black headliner I had done years ago finally deteriorated to the point that the headliner was hanging. Everything just got re-done in suede with blue diamond stitching and I'll pick up the headliner on Monday and re-install next week. If I remember, I'll post pictures here.

Looking forward to the final result.
You would think I would have taken a few more pictures. Right now it's getting cut up. The tunnels are going to be taller (or about as tall as possible before they run into the sway bar in the wheel well). Once I complete these modifications I'll work on making a mold out of it. It's on my list of things to work on this winter.

Well I picked up the headliner on Monday. It's sitting in my garage right now. It looks a lot better than it used to. I'll probably end up installing it maybe on Friday night or Saturday? Been getting home kind of late the past few days and haven't really had the motivation to install it.

Wow, that is beautiful. Who did the work installing the suede to your headliner. I'd like that done to my G.

My buddy's grandpa does upholstery for auto trim and furniture so I had him do it. Installing the damn thing wasn't difficult, it was just tiresome. But I kind of messed up the sunglasses holder / domelight assembly so I'm on the hunt for a new one.

@Row2k nice work! I just started learning to work with CF on a friend's racecar build. My current level: made a bracket to relocate the coolant overflow and a ztube that aren't lookers, but they don't suck. Well, the intake does....
@XiN Classy!
Today I wheeled the G into storage for a bit after discovering an oil leak at the upper oil pan (argh - I resealed the lower in July). I'm pretty sure that a pcv valve my root cause of blowing the front seal at a track day (no damage, but I could feel something 'give' after a downshift and thought it was a hose).
Car will be resting while I get my sh*t together to put the new clutch kit in, valve cover/spark seals, probably replace the f/r main seals, refresh hoses and seals and install some fun parts I have amassed. Wondering if I should I just go ahead and pull the engine/trans out because my list keeps getting longer. I know I will be tempted to build it while its out...and thats all for FI, and suddenly I'm not sure if I'm talking myself out of or into things. oops, here I am looking at spinnybois on garretmotion again.
