Repairs

Cracked Bumper

Date: 6/12/2026

Successfully plastic welded the huge crack running down the center of the front bumper, filled and sanded with Bondo, and paint-matched it to fit in seamlessly with the rest of the car. This process took two days because I had to wait for the primer to fully dry and the coats of paint to cure.

DIFFICULTY:

Headliner Re-Wrap

Date: 8/23/2026

Completely re-wrapped the entire headliner in faux black suede with 1/9" foam backing. I spent one whole day with a friend's help to peel off the old material and strip down the old foam, and several more days alone to do the same for the A, B & C pillars. This project overall took well over a week because I had to tackle each part individually, but that means no more saggy headliner!
