    I know! PO put it in... the top was in great shape and that just destroys a perfectly good top ,,,,and I hate the sunroof. I'm still debating as to what to do. It's my wifes and she likes it but I'm a purist for the most part.

    On the rear heater... I disassembled and flushed heater core and soaked in that lime away stuff. Worked really well and flushed w water until water ran clear.

    Mine is a ‘78 (9-77 build so it’s a 78) so that might account for some differences... I bought a bolt kit (someone on here sells a 200 or so piece kit) and replated what I could on my originals. I called some industrial platers until I found one who’d replate small amounts for me. I sandblasted...

    Unfortunately top had a cut out for a sunroof. Decided just to go with it because gutters and everything else was perfect. Can still patch in future if needed.
