Found out I couldn't install the generator w/out an anteanna base so ordered one from the junkyard. Should have it this week.

In the meantime, finished the headliner. Its not my best work, but should keep things looking tidy for a while. If it starts to droop, ill look into having it professionally fixed.





Once that was done, i shifted my efforts to getting my headlamp sealed. It was in sad shape, especially the driver side. It wasn't even sealed, previous owner did a sloppy job painting the lens flat black. I just wanted to finish his loose ends. Removed it from the car, disassembled it, cleaned the lens on the inside and had my brother polish the outside lens. Then i resealed it. Looks much better than before. Even the after picture looks terrible, i just took a bad picture, ill post another one once i get the bumper on, which im aiming for this weekend. Fan control module seems to have crapped the bed have a replacment coming from amazon this weekend.

What did you use to reseal the headlight lens? I found some replacement lenses on ebay for my X, but I image I will need to add some sealant. I found this Trex RainEscape Butyl calk at Lowes but wasn't sure of other options.
