Some of you may remember me from Carlisle 2009 and I've poked around on the forums many years ago. I've also been posting this restoration on Facebook, but figured I should share it here for those that aren't on Facebook.
I also just registered to go to Carlisle 2022!
A little back history is someone that knew I couldn't say no pointed me to a one owner, 98 CE, clean car fax with 102k miles at Copart. I couldn't let it go to parts, so I bought it sight unseen and towed it from Chicago to Kansas City to start the restoration.
To date (1/15/22) I have the following done:
Rebuilt the front suspension
Replaced all air bags, compressor, relay and relay pigtail
Refinished the alloy wheels and new Michelin Tires
Upgraded radio to support Android Auto, new speakers, and a backup camera
All new interior with 100% leather seats with suede inserts, new carpet, new suede headliner, and new Collectors edition floor mats. Updated the layout of the two tone CE interior
Converted to modern day HID headlamps
Quick sand and polish of headlights (pending further restoration)
Repaired all rust, coated under carriage, repainted front and rear bumpers
