Luck "O" da

 

[JackA]

Surprisingly the trunk weather strip turned out good and stayed stuck down.
Good thing cause I have a bunch more weather strip to install.

 

[JackA]

Working on side window stuff. Alot of clean up and research going on today. I replaced the plastic rollers on the passenger side regulator. I had a new regulator for the drivers side. Installed both along with some of the tracks. Got the windows and everything ready, just need a helper.

 

[JackA]

Next I need to clean vent window housings, replace one vent glass, and add the new weather strip.

Wheather strip pain in da A

 

[JackA]

Got the side glass in the doors. It's still needs major adjustment and the vent windows installed, but at least it's attached to the car now....lol

The wheels are looking good Jack.

 

[JackA]

I have never had a vehicle fight me so hard. I think this thing hates me. I have been fiddling with the passenger vent window for hours. I just can't get it to cooperate with the side glass.
Gonna move to the drivers side and see if the struggle continues. So frustrating.

When ya sit back and think it's always the simple fix

 

[JackA]

Got the drivers side vent window loosely installed. Fits better than the passenger side. Both still need major adjustments.

 

[JackA]

Swapped out the ignition cylinder so all the locks are now matching. One key does it all.
Got these speakers, a new package tray, and some masonite. The masonite will be used to make a trunk divider. I'll get all this installed the start putting the interior back together.

 

[JackA]

Working on the door and window weather strip.

 

[JackA]

Started fitting the rear interior door panels. Laid the carpet out for it to relax before it gets installed.

 

[JackA]

Got the majority of the weather strip glued on. I also cut a back seat trunk divider piece and a new piece for the package tray. I plan to paint those black. The package tray will get wrapped in black vinyl after I make the speaker holes and get it all fitting properly.

Hope 3m weatherstrip adhesive . Messy but works great! Doing awesome Buddy

 

[JackA]

I bought a new tube of 3m glue. I think the other tube was old and not working so good. New stuff was working better.
I test fit my new pieces for the back and they fit great.

 

[JackA]

I almost forgot. I got the new vent window glass installed. It replaced the crappy plexiglass that was in there.

 

[JackA]

Cut the speaker openings and mounting holes. Then painted the tray and seat divider with some black paint. The tray will get wrapped in black vinyl to finishing it off. Then install.

 

[JackA]

Picked up the vinyl to cover the package tray. Rounded up all the seat belts to begin cleaning, inspecting, and preparing them to install. Nothing too exciting, but it all needs to be done.
I also managed to reinstall the window stops on the rear section of the mounting plates of the side glass. Not easy, but I taped the piece to a screwdriver and fished them in. Then used an extension to tighten the hardware.

 

[JackA]

Arts and crafts time is up and my package tray is now wrapped in vinyl. Not too bad....I think the minor wrinkles will shrink out after the sun hits it.
Got the sest belts soaking in laundry detergent and hot water too. Hopefully they will clean up nicely.
