    So blue needs a good going over. I think I'm gonna start with the interior (since that's where I am most of the time). Reupholster the seat, build some custom door panels, dash pad, sound deadener on the floor. That's probably all I'll get done this summer at the most. Any recommendations for any of these here doohickeys? I love interior work so I'll be giddy when I finally get all this rolling.

    I would for sure do the sound barrier first. Have you decided which brand you would go with?

    Hypothetically could I use bondo to fix the rust holes in the fender wells?

    Lost my front fuel pump so I'll be needing to replace that soon. Been running on the itty-bitty back tank, which is annoying, so hopefully I have the funds soon

    You should be able to find a used one at a junk yard pretty easily.

    I'd rather go with a new one just because of the new vs used mentality. They're around $75 if I'm not mistaken

    Replaced the plugs this afternoon. Hopefully my gas mileage will go up. It looks like these had been in for quite some time
    Also made some measurements for custom door panels (still a maybe)
