Does anyone have a picture of the orientation of the engine lid's torsion springs that bolt to the underside of the lids?
Seems I didn't take any pics of that area during dis-assembly (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |

No worries, that's exactly what I needed. Thanks again! Are there rubber bumpers on the hinge? Hard to see in the pic

I cut one of the torsion springs out of mine. Now when you open the lid, it only pops up a few inches. You don't have to worry about guarding it, so it doesn't slam open. Of course it won't stay fully open so maybe it wasn't such a good idea after all. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif)

Well I decided they were bumpers and found a couple in my bag for the decklid which would make sense (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) So I cleaned them and on they went.
My first project complete (albeit small) in the re-assembly of Summer. Waiting for shocks to come this week then we work towards making the car a rolling chassis again! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cheer.gif) Btw, and it's too late now but I thought it would be cool to have fresh gold lettering next to the new black grill..............forgot it might get lost amongst all that yellow ........damn it! And yes I know the lettering is not to factory spec for spacing but I though it looked better to be able to read the name as apposed to P .................... O ..................... R ................. S ......................................... C .................... H ................. E (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Attached thumbnail(s)
