Think I should write a few tech articles?
I was thinking about writing a few tech articles and taking some pics while restoring my Camaro. Here's a list of what has and will be done:
Sand and prep exterior for paint. This includes removing the spoiler, lights, mirrors, door locks, and door handles, which in turn required removal of the interior door panels.
Replace 3rdgen seats with power 4th gen.
Replace carpet. That's gonna be fun!
Change headliner. Another fun project!
These seem to be some very FAQ on the board, so I figured some articles would be a good idea.
Opinions?
------------------
86 Sport Coupe, 2.8 V6, dead stock, but not for long!
Coming soon: paint job, new interior, MSD-6A, MSD GM Blaster Coil, MSD 8mm Helicore wires, Catco Hi-Flo cat, Dynomax Cat-Back
Daily driver:
2000 Pontiac Grand Am SE2

Do the headliner one first. Mine needs to be replaced real soon, and I've already done the other 2 things (4th gen seats and carpet). I dont know where to start on the headliner, and I have no idea how to get the damn dome lamp off. Thanks.

yes.
Expressedly detailed on exterior Prep, ALLOT of people would appreciate. because it would save allot of us money.
carpet. Yea. lets people know where and what they gotta yank off first
headliner is another one. im lost on it as well.
seats. no biggie. but the wiring would be beneficial. some peoples dont know where to run, and to connect.
i believe those would be great.
Go For It!

Ok guess I know how I'll be spending those rainy weekends.
One thing...these articles may not be perfect, but a good starting point since I'm basically learning by doing here. But if you guys can benefit from it then I guess its worth it.
I can have an exterior article done in maybe a week or so. A little longer for the interior stuff since I wont be doing any of that until I get the car painted. Although I guess I could do removals.
For the headliner, I wont be able to give pics showing the fabric replacement. I can only show removal and installation of the board cause I bought a used board that's already perfectly covered.
Anyone interested in seeing my starting project, check out my site.
