I'm going to glue them back together since they're just cracked, but if I doesn't come out well Jeremy said he'll go to a junkyard and ship me some. The man right there.

I also took a quick picture of the red LED I left in my glovebox. I hate my deck though since it's blue. I have plans for that later though .

It is big! But I'd rather it be big than small like it was before. I thought it was a pretty decent picture for someone so camera retarded.

Trade wheels? For S4 wheels? NO. I hate S4 wheels. Plus I think I'm buying different tires and maybe powdercoating the Mercs .

I think I agree with Andrew about the fiberglass fix. Little cloth and resin on the back side of the break, and after you cover it, better than new!

Keep up with the pics. I'm really enjoying seeing your progress.

I've never worked with fiberglass. I think I'm going to try super glue and see how that works. Tomorrow I should have the headliner wrapped. Maybe the rear pillars too. I work slow guys .

Fiberglass is pretty easy, probably not much different than what you've been doing so far. The cloth comes in sheets, its very much like cloth fabric, just with fiberglass strands instead of cotton/nylon/rayon...whatever. Measure out a piece of cloth and cut it a patch to adequately bridge the break. Stabilize the break and put the cloth in place. The resin is essentially like a thin glue, comes in little paint cans. Just brush it on the cloth like you are painting. When it dries/cures....bingo
