Swear reading through your journal was like looking at a mirror of mine. Awesome work and attention to detail with the clamps. Makes me want to look through all of mine now.

Haha, right! I just read through your journal and you’re not kidding! Your M is coming along great. My wheel is destroyed but luckily I’ve found another in good shape. I won’t have it til the end of the month though. Can’t wait to get it installed.

I still have rod bearings and subframe to do. Hopefully no cracks and I’ll be doing the foam again.

No idea what it is, but I have it too.

Gave the engine bay a quick rinse and dry.

Lots of little things I finally got done.

Passenger side mirror





The shark fin antenna gasket was mangled when it was removed to install the wrap from the previous owner.





Rear quarter trim seals and gaskets for both sides. No fun at all! Lots of goo gone and letting it soak.











The factor crimp was replaced with a worm gear. I put it back to the way it should be.





The front headlight trim had disintegrated.





Replaced another worm clamp with the proper factory one.





Missing wire holder for + cable.







New belt, fan/viscous coupler, coolant cap








Missing passenger seatbelt cap






Missing door handle screw cap





B and C Pillars







Fixed a bunch of broken tabs on the door panels too.



Fuel Filter. No picture on the car as I didn’t have a lift to replace it

Valve adjustment and new plugs.

Thanks! I’ve been happy with the car so far!

It’s really easy to pull the back shelf out. There are a few DIYs out there but this one outlines the steps. If you have questions, let me know.

Oh man, I wish you would have mad a DIY on the parcel shelf . . . I have to do that on mine.

I am positive I looked at this car a bunch of times when I was shopping around.

I love the attention you are giving to this car. !!!

Great Job.
