I finally picked up my 1969 Beaumont Deluxe after two years and a lot of drama to get this far. Sadly, the shop did a terrible job of the headliner, claiming it was because it was so old (it wasn't - I had it replaced about ten years ago) and the wiring is a mess. The heater, fan, interior lights, clock (that I had refurbished), and many other things aren't working. My mechanic retired while my car was out of commission and now I don't know anyone in the Vancouver area who I can trust to work on my car. I will be happy to drive to Vancouver Island or the interior of BC to find someone.
Also - I think I should have an immobilizer installed - does anyone have any suggestions for which ones are best? Places to have them done?
The body work is awesome and I am really happy overall but apparently the shop didn't have someone who was very good and the electronic stuff or the headliner. I am hoping they will try to do a better job of the headliner - isn't that something that body shops do? Maybe I am wrong - who does headliners?
