Okay I made Red Rocks this year. I still have a few things not finished. So figured I better get on it.
1. Build new center console (This will be my 4th one & hopefully I can get it how I want it this time) Got the main frame together. Putting some carpet on the sides tonight. 2. I pulled the targa top off my 73 Resto & the seals are all original. Made a trip to 914 Rubber yesterday. Got the rear targa seals along with the top window seals. Got those all in today with a little help from my wife. I forget what a PITA those seals can be getting in. Used dish soap to help them slide in. Wasn't until I had my wife guiding & feeding from the top. While I was pulling on the bottom that I got them in. Tried for a while myself but didn't make much progress. Took 5 minutes with her helping. 3. Install 914 Rubber sun Visors I ordered in the group buy. I got those in but they do scrape a bit up top when folding down to up. Issue is I have the mirror that replaces the center post mount. That is just not a perfect setup but so much nicer than gluing the mirror on the windshield. Still happy with the new visors even if the do scrape just a bit. 4. Need to give it a serious wash. Do some touch up work for various chips. Then give it a good wax. 5th. Oil change & just check all fluids in general. 6th. Need to make some carpet changes with my center console. Anyway kind of a lame post but haven't made one in quite a while. Been driving my 2.0 turbo suby conversion & enjoying it. Attached image(s) |

I have new side window seals. Tried to install with no lube from the bottom up. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif) That didn't work. Only got it 3/4 of the way up. I can't find the glycerin I bought a long time ago, so I stopped until I have the right stuff.
Looking forward to seeing the new console. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif) |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif) Nice thing with these seals having extra you have to cut off. My method was straight dish soap on the track. Then put the top vertical so I can pull down on the seal. Which I do with channel locks as there is plenty of seal even if I bugger the end. With my wife feeding from the top & me pulling from the bottom. Just made it so much easier. Once it is moving this was it is much easier to just keep it going. When your doing it be yourself with it laying down. It is so much harder. I wasted a fair amount of time before I had my wife come help without much progress. I got it maybe 1/3rd of the way in (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) |
