Getting ready for the POCA Fun Rally this year, it's time to do some
cosmetic and creature comfort changes to the car. Since I had the car on
the road, I haven't had time for those types of changes. I have been
driving without windows, carpeting, door panels, and other fuzzy things
since the car has been restored.
So this weekend I mocked up some door panels for the doors. I am going to
use a flat panel and then use material to cover the metal that joins the
door to the window ( where you rest your arm ). This spot is ussually
covered by the door panel, but I do not care for the stock door panels.
I also fabricated a new console piece that covers the tunnel to the rear of
the car. The door panels and the armrests and he console will go to the
upholstery shop for covering. I also purchased the replacement door handles
and installed them. One of my handles was cracked so bad it wouldnt stay on
the car.
I changed my oil last weekend and opened up th efilter for inspection, the
picture shows what i found. Mostly machining parts, but the motor is just
broken in.
I still have to install the door windows, and some wiring, also some carpet
and interior lights.
