Speakers and Staples
Upgraded speakers (Kee Audio) in doors and sail panel subs. While I had the door panel off I took the staples out and replaced with zip ties (My door panels never cracked!)

Cleaning a new project. Trying to get inspiration and make a decision. Got a quarter panel booboo that was repaired poorly. Trying to decide is i should save a WS6 hardtop or scrap it. Around 2000$ to fix the damage with primer only, 4500-6000 for full paint including fixing any surface issues.
Getting a cheap battery and see what this puppy needs. Hasnt been registered/inspected for 10 yrs. Wish me luck!

Put the interior back in, I need to clean it, but here it is
Door panel
Center Console
A-pillars
T-top trim
Radio Bezel and passenger side kick panel
Concession to modernity
The rear speaker panels are wrapped also, but didn't take any pics of that yet. You get the idea though, it's all wrapped - no plastic. The panel under the steering wheel, the glove box, and the trim around the seat controls is wrapped also.

@JohnR I had some one wrap most of pieces for me, at the recommendation of a friend. I reached out to Redline about doing the interior, a la @raptor98ta , but they were not interested. Didn't explicitly say why, but probably cost, complexity and shipping.

@blackbyrd , no I did start down the Redline path, I wrapped the e-brake hand and gauge cluster binnacle, and started on the arm rests, but knew I wanted the whole interior covered. Like you and @vikingramair . However, I know I don't really have the skill or patience, based on the fussy binnacle experience, and wanted it too look right.
I took the interior apart, dropped it off, and then put it all back together. It fit like a like a glove, because GM's fitment is very "accommodating". Also, it's not just the look, though that certainly is a big part, but the feel is so much better.
