got a good chunk of the interior plastic trim painted satin black. The PO had painted it poorly and it was flaking. Gonna try to hammer out the headliner tomorrow and get the interior back in the car.
finished up the headliner today

Headliner came out great!
Is that just microsuede laid over the top of the old headliner? Also what adhesive did you go with ?
yeah black mircosuede.
I pulled the old fabric off and stripped off the nasty orange foam adhesive they used underneath.
glued up the new fabric with a mix of loctite high strength, 3M super 77 and 3M hi-strength 90 iirc.
all the material was left over from my A6
Turned out very nice. Thats a seriou combination of stuff to glue the new fabric down.
putting this up for sale, $3,000.
got into shooting over the summer and just really have no interest in modding cars anymore.
beemercer@gmail.com if anyone is interested or knows anyone who’s interested. car is not drivable at the moment, but it should be easy to load it up on a trailer in my driveway
Best of Luck beems. Would have loved to see you finish this project though b/c I’m sure it would have turned out awesome.

so most of the interior is back in the car, passenger seat track foot was all buggered up so still working on that
the interior temp sensor setup was all fucked up… all this trouble with the interior makes me think I’d be better off gutting it lol
Is the car still immobile?
it moves, just not often lol. the alternator is siezed and squeaks horribly.
I’m going to finish up the interior and then pull the front bumper for paint, then start work on the engine bay
