Todds 87 Trans Am progress thread

[tenpin842]

Well, I received my so called free money. So I bought new weatherstrip.
I already replaced my T top weatherstrip a couple years ago. Might have to do it again....not to sure.

But I did buy the weatherstrip that goes around the door, New weatherstrip for the trunk, and new seals for the t tops them selves.
Plus I already bought new felts for the windows.

So that was another $371.00 added to the car....LOL.....it better be happy!!!

Did a little work today, Things I don't have pics of is I sanded down some of the ground effects. I also sanded the mirrors.
But I washed the car down, to get all the dust off of it.

With the help of James....I decided to swap heater boxes to the non A/C box I had.
WOW....does it clean up a lot of space!








Then I marked all of the small dents my car had. The whole car will be blocked out....but these are the ones that need a little skim coat.







So its coming along slowly. I hope to pick the pace up this week and next week.

Yeah, I just missed 1 bolt when I took it off. So I broke that part off. It had a double bolt on the far right one, (down by the tranny stick) I took one bolt off....thought that was it. Oh well.....I wasn't keeping it anyway. And it broke VERY easy.

Only thing I have to do is cut that hole a little bigger for the resisters, so I can use my wires, other then that...you live and learn.
Then just plug one hole that not covered up anymore down at the bottom.

Yeah it only took about an hour. Thanks!!

ok todd I found what I think you need, I will take pics of it tonight after work and post them..I think I have both sides, do you need a specific side or are they the same?

[tenpin842]

I think there both the same.
It goes to the front part of the bottom ground effect.
The one I need goes on the passenger side. But I would think both would be the same.

[Gottork]

its the one under the opening in the fender right?
if so, I have one..

then I need your address so I can get it to you..
