To do list! :) (pic heavy)

Well, as some of you may know, I bought my 99 Aurora on Black friday, and for 1300 i thought it was a decent deal for what the car has... needed an alternator right off.
Yet it does have issues, so here i go showing them to you all as i get started on them
Feel free to comment
First off is appearance, cars paint is in good shape, but it has a few chips
Worst of it all is this, and it looks expensive to repair, so it loses priority due to cost :/

next is the driver door, the mid trim is popped off, and smacks the car when i close the door, feel free to suggest a good adhesive....

Another annoying thing about the door is this

Feel free to suggest an adhesive here too...
next is an ugly vanity plate holder on the front bumper, and the way somebody put these bolts in is making me question how to get it off

Lastly is a grimey headlight, the bumper appears to have been painted recently, the paint is just too nice to be 12 or so yrs old, and all lights were replaced except this one

drivers side

And the new one i bought

$92.50 (ouch) but hey i nabbed it because its mint cond and it matches the driverside one
lastly is a nasty interior that needs cleaned, plus the A pillars that are still on hold...
washed it today!

Not bad just a few minor things...shouldn't be all that to expensive..

lol My driver door gas the same issue with the window control, ect. panel.

Are your A pillars all lose like the fabric adhesive has given up? I guess like a drooping headliner?

[nelson480]

yes, that and cigarette burns...

Looks like some fun weekend projects!
Find a Pick-n-Pull, get yourself a rear bumper...non Diamond white is easy to do.
Find an industrial strength for the door trim
Not sure what to do about the door panel...gonna tackle mine in a few weeks
If you're not too concerned about the vanily plate cover I'd say cut it off carefully, or go up from underneath and see what you can do from there.

There are NO white ones in my local yard, theres 2 gold mist colored classics lol
and that 2001 of course
like emblem glue? i thought that would work

[dietz4ibanez]

Yeah I think that mine are worse off. I am wondering if its because of the heat that got to these things?

Lol....dont know what i was smoking.
By easy to do i meant paint to match. Would run about $200 to $400 depending on the quality.

Industrial strength double sided tape. I worked in the auto industry, youd be surprised whats simply taped on. 3M makes a clear tape with a red backing that peels off. Thats all i can remember.

Get some 3M double-sided trim tape for that middle trim piece. I've tried all kinds of glue and whatnot on mine and the only thing that has held up is the 3M tape.

Like rob said, 3M tape works great. I use the clear stuff that comes with a red backing....
