I took the cover off and let the car warm up in the sun.

Finally decided to put a logo on the front (black, of course).

If I don’t like it I can always remove it…..



Before.

After.

Close up.

Default Painted my flaky b pillars



Painted the flaky trim. Added some cloth seats.

anyone run into trouble with older seats? It’s not plug and play, the plug on the older seats are a different shape and have less pins.

plugged a screw hole in right front tire, noticed the tire wearing in the inside pretty good, ie down to nylon strands at very inside lip in one small spot. so I have to adjust camber (or would toe out do this too?) but I have no more positive adjustment, rear LCA camber is at pos (bottom of tire in) and the front LCA camber is about 80% pos. Do I just crank the front LCA to min and then adjust toe in? Or does the UCA have any adjustment? Those bolts look non eccentric. Also noted end link has about 1-2mm of rack play out of rack, not at ball joint. Is there a mesh adjustment nut for these racks?

Nick,
Thank you. I mentioned this before but there was a slick back at a salvage yard just outside of Miami which I bought some minor parts from. The lady I was dealing with told me about the car and quoted me a very reasonable price for the top. I called her back a month later and it was sold. If you see a slick back in your neighborhood that may be the roof that I should have bought. By the way that was about four years ago.

Oh wow. Yeah man, our cars are at the age now where when you see something you really want, you’ve got to pull the trigger immediately! I’ll keep my eyes peeled for ya!
