Earl Posted December 12, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2016 Fiddled with a few things on Saturday. Not much to post pictures of as I was mocking up my actuator for my push button hatch release system and some other small things. Some comparisons between old and new Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Earl Posted December 12, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2016 It seems that way. I will have to read back through and see what I didn't touch so I can go loosen up those bolts and retighten them lol patsbimmer1 and Jdesign 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Earl Posted December 19, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2016 There is a nick where someone removed the clock with a small screwdriver. There are small scratches along the bottom side from people with rings using the ashtray. The red portion of the temperature decal also has some discoloration. It works functionally and is in pretty great shape compared to most peoples. I sold it for $15 to another compact guy haha REKIII 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Earl Posted December 22, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2016 I installed my new license plate mounting plugs, screws, and washers yesterday. The old ones were left in when the trunk was resprayed. I have a feeling the whole hatch will be resprayed when the car goes back to paint so I will make sure to remove all of the trunk handle inserts and the license plate mounting plugs so they don't just spray over them again. I do need to figure out the correct part number for the license plate screw plastic caps. They're a bit bigger than the interior screw caps. I also finally finished a project that I have been working on for 2 years off and on. I set it aside and forgot about it countless times when it made me angry and wasn't turning out great. I can post in process pictures that I took along the way if anyone is interested in what I all did. Jdesign, visian and jc43089 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Earl Posted December 22, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2016 The car goes back to the body shop once it is together to fix any issues I found and to buff it again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
