Default 1982 CHP 870559

Here are a few pic's as promised. The car has a great original interior that cleaned up well. You'll notice the new seat belt sleeves. The originals were really deteriorated and I have what's left in a Baggie. I ordered some light gray repro's and used the inside of the best remnants to have the color matched. The paint shop did a great job matching the original French Vanilla. Same with the seat belt pivot covers, except they were NOS in gray. Good luck finding any NOS French Vanilla parts. I'll be replacing the dash pad in the spring and will probably use the glove box door to match the color. (It's a 2 tone interior). I replaced the sun visor rods because I got tired of getting hit on the head every time I hit the gas. If you can't find NOS I would recommend TMI repro's. I ordered some others first and was not happy with them. There's also a photo of the back seat area and the engine compartment. At some point in it's life (I believe 2nd owner after CHP) the car was painted green and they weren't very careful about masking anything. I got tired of looking at all the green under the hood and used a nice weekend we had last month to repaint the inner aprons and insides of the fenders. I bead blasted the latch and the rad and grille brackets. I had to refinish the fan shroud - that was green too! Unfortunately I think winter is finally here to stay so no more work until the spring.
