Before I put the seats back in, I pulled the center console. It's pretty poor. I'm going to try fiberglass to repair the vinyl. Most of the lower area is carpeted

Installed the blower motor. The drilled and threaded Allen bolts worked great to extend the broken studs. Turned on the AC and the vents worked fine. Fixed itself. Pulled the seats to get the floor patches better sealed. Found a bunch of holes...

Looks like maybe the center door actuator from doing a little research.

AC works. Pretty happy about that. HVAC doors do not. Stuck on defrost. Hopefully not the vacuum actuators, but probably. I put in a $20 Ford heater valve once I saw the replacement cost of the OEM one with a blown diaphragm. Might be a simpler...

Couldn't stand the primer spots and it needed a sealer coat anyway. It has some creative filler work. The dogleg flutes were sculpted out of short strand. New dogleg and wheel arch panels are available for $90. I might see what I can make with...

Pulled the trans pan to put a new accumulator spring in and because the dipstick needed to get out of the way to replace the throttle valve bushing. That is gone completely. The trans gets into 3rd way too quickly and just slides through 2nd...

Visor clips finally showed up, but drilling the broken screw out of the DS is gonna require a drive for a fresh drill bit.

New injectors arrived a day early, as stuff does when you don't need it anymore. I didn't investigate the idle problem, but I'm pretty happy with how it runs off idle. New injectors cleaned up everything. Runs as it should now. Fixed the...

The youtubes seem to be correct. For some reason PineSol works good in the sonic cleaner. New aftermarket injectors will be here Friday. I'll try the clean ones and if they work I'll wire the new injectors into the speeduino harness for when the...

A hard miss has been getting worse. Seems to go away at cruise, but I'm not sure it's just not apparent at 3000 rpm. #3 is considerably cooler with the thermal gun. Pulled the plug and it's pretty ash white. Pulled #2. It was a little sooty, but...

A good place to start counting mileage.

Carpet showed up this afternoon. Two days early. Got it more or less in. I ran out of staples. Or, more accurately I ran out of staples that fit the staplers I have. Ran wires for the powered sub I had laying around.

Big job today was getting the passenger seat in. Dyed the last of the dash on the passenger side while the frame was drying after sandblasting and painting. Dyed the visors too. Still waiting on the new black visor clips. Cleaned the courtesy...

The ds was easier.

The left side has the fuse block. I bought an assortment of German fuses. I'll clean all the contacts and replace all the corroded fuses. I printed the English version of the paper fuse block label and ran it through the laminator. Having that...

Finally stopped at the fabric shop for some spray adhesive and pcv board. The kick panels were too nasty to dye and too simple not to make better. I had some quality vinyl from my old sxs top. I got a hard top for it. Works better in the woods. .

Got a radio in it today with the bluetoofs, USB and a charging port. It's a cheap media player, but it's blauplunkt so its kinda OK. The stock Becker Mexico radios are super spendy, mostly broken and just AM/FM. The center console is all busted...

New rear shocks and turned the rear rotors today. Hopefully gets rid of the wallowing. Kinda rides like a boat. Old shocks had plenty of gas charge left, but very little damping. Edit: it did fix it. It rides much better. Rear had some grinding...

Slammed some floors in. Got them in primer or rust converter. DS and trunk got Raptor liner. The knee bolsters are part of the dash substructure, which is avacado,. The windshield padding/trim is green too. Both will need to be dyed in place. I...

Looks like it was 861 silver green metallic with a clearcoat and a 862 stone pine green metallic top. Interior looks like it was 206 moss. Imported to the US with a hardtop, right side mirror, and power locks. One of 8684 that year out of...

Nothing but dust and a frame inside the visors.

I'd like to find a set of good r107 seats. These were past repairable.

Bought a new swivel magnetic 13/16 spark plug socket with a 10" attached extention and a set of plugs. Plugs in the car are brand new. They must have thrown some parts at it trying to get the motor running. I can't remember the last time I used...

Better than green.

Didnt do the floors like I should. Just didn't feel like grinding rust. Wasn't up for messing with seats anymore either. I got to investigating the windows. That led to taking a lot of trim off and I got to dying pieces. Windows weren't...
