For some reason, the doors seem to make the car seem much more complete. Here's the next PITA project - the prior crappy paint job guys actually painted the door panels yellow to match their masterpiece of painting every other damn part that wasn't moving.

Other side, you might notice the seal inside the car calling out for my attention. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/rolleyes.gif)

Let me tell you, putting the safety straps in the door can be a real PITA, especially the little cotter pin. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/lol2.gif)

Last one for today. My plan remains the same, keep pushing and find some project to start, move along, finish and keep the momentum rolling along. Thanks for your interest. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/beerchug.gif)

Well, back to why we are really here. My good friend Eric Sanders came over one night this week and together we got the big seal up the windshield pillars and over the top. This was definitely best done by two guys, although honestly Eric had the technique to get the seal in place. Ever notice how two friends working together get so much more accomplished? Thanks Eric.

I also put in the seals on the front of the targa bar and I'm basically finished with the seals and really pushing hard to finish up the interior. Will try to get the doors completed this weekend. Here's the door glass seals on the targa bar.

So here is the next project for the weekend - what a real work of art. The guys at Autobahn Performance couldn't believe how nice the pedal assembly is. They said next time rather than do a rebuild themselves they will just send them to Eric Shea. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smilie_pokal.gif)

Nice going and very nice color choice BTW. If you don't mind, could you take a picture of the door gaps since the engine is out, please.

Do you mean the gaps when the doors are closed? Are you looking for something in particular? Let me know and I will be happy to post all the pictures you want. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif)

Yes with the doors closed, and I think you don't have an engine in yet. What I'm looking for is to see if the gaps are slightly bigger without the powertrain. Thanks

You have made my car look like crude next to your's, such a great job (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/pray.gif)

At least my rims still look nicer (untill you get your's done I'm sure) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/happy11.gif)

Time for you to move out to Sunny S. Cal and help with mine.

Thanks guys, I had a vision in mind. This will probably make some guys flinch - I wanted a better than factory fresh restoration and then I want to flog and drive the wheels off the car. Yeah, that's right, rain, crud, bugs, what have you - I would like to put 200,000 miles on this car before I pass it on to the next generation.
