Pointed towards the driver's side, rather than the other way around?

Took engine harness out and shortened it by about 2.5 feet. I think I can still remove another foot from it and I would be okay

I tore the driver's door apart on the factory six. Cleaned the door latch to make it work easier, and fixed the window. The block had fallen off the rear of the window, so it was flopping around in the track and wouldn't reach the seal on top. Once it put everything back together, the window works much better, but it is still about 8mm shy of matching the seal on the targa top. Even the rubber block at the front is lower than the top seal. So I am going to put a metal strip between the seal channel and the top. Gotta get it sealed up for the trip to TN.

Igor is offline. Last time I drove him, the RH shift cable got against the header, so now it won't move. I need to find a place that can make one about a foot longer.

First steps in getting the doors on permanently, both sides are now hung. We're going to get the seals, door handles, strikers and surrounding rubber installed so we can start the fine tuning of gaps.

Every day, it's moving a little further along (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Since I pulled the front calipers off and sent them out to be rebuilt, I figured I should at least get out the bucket & sponge and wash most of the dirt out of the wheel wells. Other than the fact that everything needs to be re-bushed and/or replaced, the wells themselves are relatively rust free with original paint.

I added one gratuitous post of the car on jackstands.....or in its natural environment.

Went on a long Sunday cruise in the 73 2.0. Noticing a stumble (maybe always there) in second and third between 2600 and 2900 RPM, but not when accelerating moderate to hard.

Something to debug (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Installed my Rennlist quick release hub. Very satisfied with the product. Kind of tricky cutting my momo hub down because the ring that attaches the steering wheel to is steel and the hub was aluminum. Ended up cutting aluminum bracket to close so had to improvise to attach steel hub to aluminum bracketAttached Image

Found ignition timing out as mentioned reset and test drove with great results but didn't check the carbs as minor spit back on 2 throats,found vacuum out by a small amount on them,reset air bleeds and the best it has ever run,did hot and cold start ...super happy with result.
Checked my oil level and fuel hose condition plus other area's, traced 2 oil leaks
to leaking cam feed lines and the ever present leaking exhaust valve covers,nice to see I can fix that .

The hinges of my deck lid interfered with the engine grille when fully open. I wire cut 2 new pieces of stainless steel to limit the opening of the lid somewhat. Worked great. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
