I did take seat belt apart and put some greased it. Now old one works musch better, new one saved to an other project.

It took a couple of hours to get mirror control to fit. Had to reshape its mounting piece.

Hood release was not original and it moved just a little. So I removed it and greased it too. Now it is OK. Trying to find a correct one,



Driver side air duct slipped out and it did not want to go back. Had to remove it and what did I found. No wonder, it had a severe damage. And that´s why I couldn´t open air went at all.



Used hor air gun and wood blocks... Nice...



I noticed a hanging loose pink wire tjat wasn´t there before. What a heck...
Fuse holder had pink going in, but nothing comes out. It had broken, bit long time ago. Wires were stuffed in it. Bought a new one and problem solved. Hazard lights are working now.

When dash and parcel shelf were assembled togetherand courtesy light fixed, found out that heater blower did not work.  >:D

After that disappointment started to fix wipers. Motor of, no locking clip there. Mounted rihgt wiper body and nut. New clip and all done. But wipers did not work...  >:D

Then it was time to fix blower. Easy job just plug in... And then parcel shelf again...


There is not a lot of loose parts to mount...



Needs some fasteners, wiper blades, Tail gate wiring...
