Ok... First off:
Thanks to Joey for giving us a Convertible Forum!!! Lets take advantage of this guys... and getting some thread topics started to build on.
I finally had time to take a few new pics showing some minor progress. Havent done a whole lot over the Fall/Winter... just enjoyed driving it. For the most part- no problems w/some small issues here/there which I will share in the next few weeks.
Got the new rocker chrome strips (actually used ones... saving new ones until car gets painted. Think they really define the lines of the car.
Pulled off grill and bezels which I am in process of painting (backup set currently on car). Pics to follow.
Was hoping to hold off a couple years for a new top... but just got a rip. So looks like I need to start thinking about getting that done. See thread:
Convertible top wire spring guides
Had some issues with headlights dimming w/idle... so switched out regulator. Seems to have corrected problem.
Have some mild "ticking"... unsure of source, but took off valve covers and didnt see anything unusual. Gonna hold my breath on this one. Will take off header bolts next and see if it may be a gasket issue.
Also got a bulge hood that needs to be stripped/painted (thanks to Dennis aka 6pakattack)... but will hold off until car is ready for paint job.
Have added some pics of what I have to date.
