Continue to check goodies off the list. HVAC system removed in this car…Added neoprene covers for the cowl last night, finalized ride height, and threw on 15x7s + proxes R1Rs. Suspension gets upgraded once I can find a place that has everything needed in stock…good times 

 

The covers look great however there are hood water drains under them now.  Will that work out ok?

With the help of a Roundel column written by @Mike Self I ventured into my apparently infamous '72 wiper/washer/turn signal switch last night.  As my wipers do not operate this is the final thing to check.  As it turns out, it appears that the little rocker switch and the contacts in there just need a little bit of cleaning / lubing, I'll work on that more later today and hopefully it'll be successful.

I plan to never let this thing see another drop of water. Should be just fine.

I should install these prototype AST 5100 coilovers with Matt Pekin Arms today.

Coilovers will be officially offered for retail in the coming weeks.

No work today,  it’s 73 and beautiful today took the inka out for a ride down the north shore of Lake Travis…

Had the spare tire broke down.  Tire was from 1994.

I plan to sandblast the rim and have Wurth paint to respray it with a new tire on order.

I didn’t do anything per se. But Bart at The Resto Shop sent me some pics on the rust repair ??

Looks super nice ?

New sun roof seals, hopefully that helps the wind noise. Also stripped a spare subframe to start welding on.

Update - well, the wiper switch is "working" but only if I press on the rocker switch more firmly and hold it in place, i.e., it won't make the contact on its own.  I suspect that the little contacts in there are dirty / corroded and its very difficult to access.  I've tried contact cleaner but so far that's not helping.  I'll play with some other ideas.

New calipers installed!

Will be looking for another (passenger side).

Ireland Engineering sells a new new remake of these, I installed one on my drivers door, I had your same issue of not going all the way up due to Floppy Rivet/Pivot  

 

[its55]

I emailed 2002AD about their used ones with a question but they have not responded after about a week I guess I’ll try again. I am aware of the Ireland ones, but hope to save some money!

I'm going down the Weber DCOE rabbit hole just a little.

 

 

Also sandblasted my spare tire rim. $6.00  turned out great. Tried to prime it and primer ran like carzy.

Thinkin 41° day in Michigan was a tad to cold.  Should of known better. Will sand it Saturday and try again

Forecast is for 62° then snow on Monday.

A used one could be ok but it’s basically a 50 yr old spring that could snap at any time even if the rivet is ok, this was one of the jobs I really disliked, taking everything apart and then adjusting the window height and dwell angle PITA 

 

but that’s just me
