Some may remember me asking about this awhile back.... Well I got it!!

And here she is after my own outdoor paint job and engine and suspension swap from my totalled bug. I dont think I did to bad of a job.

Not completely finished yet... but will be soon enough!

I'm digging it. Some may shun the custom work the previous owner did to the front end but I actually like it. You are the only one with it and you'll stand out thats for sure. Did you do the strut swap yet or are you riding high up front now?

How hard is it to install the rear windows because I am about to replace the window seals on my new 73 sedan.

I swapped the suspension but for some reason it didnt drop at all... I dont know what the problem is! I was trying to post on SBO but I cant. I thought someone might be able to give me the answer as to why it wont come down.

As for the windows, I havent put in the back, but will be doing it this week. I will let you know how hard it is as soon as I do it!

The rear window is a two person affair with some string. One on the outside pushing around the edges, and the other inside pulling the string. You put the string in the seal groove closest to the inside lip, and pull it slowly out from the inside while the outside person pushes against the glass. Some soapy water helps too.

Did you fit the tank yet?

tank, gas, ans soare tyre contribute to the drop... also try racking the car back and forthand shaking it a bit to get the suspension to set properly
