  1. I bought one, installed it (stuck it on) a month ago and the corners are peeling off....Looks funky. IMO, would be better if it could be painted on.
  2. Door oanels with speaker holes.... I replaced them with new ones, took the chrome tops off for my new ones. Can't see throwning them out before I offer them to anyone that thinks they can use them first. Pay shipping from SF Bay Area and they're yours.
  3. I was a junior in HS when my 73 tii was first sold in April of that year....... Where did it go..
  4. I was having similar noises as you, especially when making right turns, and after chasing my tail with all the "easy" things Found that it was the spider gears in the diff.
  5. As sacrilegious that it is, I like it......Maybe it's because it's the only one of its kind that I've seen.....
  6. In my 73 tii, in 5th gear, my speedo is 70 mph is 3K RPM. 4K RPM is 84 MPH..(70 in 4th is 4K RPM) Did the 5 speed OD conversion 9 years ago, zero regrets.
  7. I had what sounds like the same problem: when I rolled up and down the passenger window, the crank arm felt loose and unsecure. I recently replaced my door panels, which exposes the innards of the door and the entire rolling up mechanism. The crank assembly is supported by 3 small bolts. On mine, one was gone, and the other two where loose. These bolts are short as to not interfere with the window as it goes up and down. I replaced the missing one and tightened the other two and it now cranks perfectly. Hope this helps.
  8. I recommend it, as I agree with John - oil changes and alternator work is lots easier. I also removed the tray and it really opens up the engine compartment. I was concerned about losing trunk space but found that it wasn't really an issue.
