Finally had the time and nice weather to take some pictures.
Forgive the fact that she is a little dirty. I'm working on replacing the t-top weatherstrip (pass side is now complete) and don't want to wash the car until the weatherstrip is done and it doesn't leak.
Here's a shot of my 3 4 eyes. I only just realized this, but a majority of my cars over the years have had quad headlights, weird. Anyway
Now for some GT shots:
Pulled bucktag
Bought the car back in July and after some shipping SNAFUs it arrived in early August. Car is a joy to drive, sounds great but needs more power.
I've been working on small things or pressing issues, but my plan is to eventually do a full resto-mod. Including a full repaint (same color).
So far I've changed the oil, got the parking brake working (rear disc set up), replaced speedo cable and VSS, driver's side door pins/bushings, got map light working and resprayed it with grey vinyl (it was green ), replaced pass side weather strip (including door run channels) and adjusted pass side glass, power door lock bezel and power window bezel (both cracked and about to fall off). Installed new t-top latch seals, belt line weather strip, firewall to hood seal, and tag light lenses (they were cracked and falling apart).
I've also started taking care of the few small spots of surface rust here and there. Right now I'm just hitting them with the stuff that stops the rust and seals it. I've touched up a few areas too, but I haven't decided what to do about the large area of paint flaking off the roof yet.
Most pressing items are the driver's side weather strip (door/t-top) and the heater core. The core isn't pouring out coolant yet, but I do smell a slight hint of coolant with vent open or heat on. I also need to fix a very small leak at the water pump. The pump was replaced a few hundred miles before I bought it, so I'm hoping it's just the seal.
Thanks for looking and I'll update as I get more done.
