Another back-tracking detail. I used some paint to black out the flange of the targa bar that was barely visible behind the pad (in this shot ,the pad is pulled forward a bit). And yes, this pad is not really good enough, but maybe someday...

Now, onto the door frames. Here is a pair of new inner door seals.

I trimmed the carpet around the door frame edge.

Trimming done.

New aluminum sills.

And new plastic rivets. BTW, I did discover that the center stud has to first be snapped off the base, and then inserted into the center hole.

Left sill installed.

Too nice....you'll never drive it Bob. Hehe

True, I would take my shoes off before entering. Great work Bob and thanks for posting

Thanks, guys. Maybe drive it inside?

Of course, I have to actually make it run before I worry about driving it.

New inner door seals.

Left side installed. It bulges a bit along the bottom.

Now for the inner sill trim pieces.

Installed with screws.

Starting on the right side.

And done.

I noticed the carpet I tried to stretch into the hand brake recess had pulled loose along one side. I came up with an injection of contact cement.

I tried to squirt it around inside the loose area.

And then clamped the inner corner in place.

I got some rubber sheets, here 1/8".

I used one piece to pad the mounting of the charcoal canister.

Canister installed.

And then the expansion tank.

She is looking beautiful Bob. She is almost whole again, cant wait for the engine to come back.

Thanks. I do hope to get onto the engine again soon.

Not too much today, but I cleaned up the plastic tubing segments for the evaporative control system. These could be the last parts that I have to deal with PO red overspray and undercoating.

That's better. Once again, Goofoff works well to remove crud, and also leaves a bit of shine on the plastic.

Just for fun, I test fit the pieces. I need to get some vent hose and grommets before I can install these for real.

Left front fender well.

Left outer sill.

I took the clamps off the carpet in the hand brake lever indentation. It seems stuck on now.

While I am waiting for stuff, I got out the fender liner kit from 914 Rubber.

First trial fitting, in the front.

And the rear.

I need to think about how to best attach these.

Here's how I did mine.....

They worked out great and are quick & easy to remove if you need to.

Thanks, Doug. I had actually book-marked your fender installation. See the following.

I decided to keep going with the fender liner installation. Here are the mounting clips from 914 Rubber, now in stainless.

Most are designed for pop-rivets (included in the kit). I decided to use screws to attach the liners to the clips, the raynekat method. Two of the clips have riv-nuts attached, but my OCD wants them all the same, so I used a file to undo the rib-nuts. BTW, I treated myself to new files for the first time in at least 30 years--wow!

Now all the clips match!

On the leading edge, the clips fit over the fender flange deep enough for the holes to line up.

On the trailing side, the clip base is not deep enough to reach the hole.

This is how far off the hole position is.

I tried unfolding the clip, but the stainless stock was too brittle.

With the liner seated evenly, the length seems too long, by about 3/4". When I forced the flu length in, the liner does not sit tightly against the inside of the fender.

I trimmed the liner with a jig saw.

Speed nuts on the clips.

I fitted the liner again, marked and drilled the holes, and then screwed the liner to the clips.

One problem: when unmolested, the liner sits snug against the outer fender.

But the liner is free to shift about an inch to the inside.

Rather than drill holes in the inner fender wall I decided to make a small block from aluminum stock and 3M adhesive tape.

That should be enough to keep the liner from shifting inward.
