    I installed a new top last weekend. then after a few days of rain this week I noticed a wet trunk. I pulled out carpet in rer deck and hosed down the top with water to find out it was leaking in two spots so I loosened up all the nuts retightened them in order again. fixed one leak but on other side still had a leak so loosed nut where it was leaking then loosened the nuts on each side. tightened down one in middle then the two outside nuts and no more leaking top . I had to tighten them out of order on the instructions but its all fixed up and no more water in my trunk.

    Had to replace my radiator bypass hose because of a small crack. Crap. Luckily everything is right on top for easy access. Whew.

    I tried to drive it today after being parked for about a month. It wouldn't turn over. So, I hooked up my charger, and set it to 70amps, and cranked it. It turned over, but not enough juice to start it. I tried it again a couple times, then it just died on me, it stopped turning over again, and my interior and parking lights came on and wouldn't go off even if the key was in the off position and pulled out of the ignition. Freaked me out! I thought I fried something, so I quickly unhooked the charger, and disconnected the battery for at least 20 seconds, then reconnected it again, and the lights turned off. So, I decided to trickle charge the battery at 2amps. When it read full after a few hours, I decided to crank it up and it started. Whew, what a relief.

    So, after I got it started I decided to replace the leaking water line on the turbo. Dang! There's so little space to work in there. Good thing I've got small hands and arms. Finally got it buttoned up after an hour and took it for a test drive. Man, I miss driving that car, and it's only been a month. Hoping it doesn't snow anymore so I can drive it more often.

    Next on the agenda, oil change and install the RetroModern dipstick handle.

    quite jelly over how nice the intake and VC look Atank.

    I changed my spark plugs. The old ones looked quite worn and really I only have myself to blame first time I've done them on this car and thats after a year of owning it and putting on like 6000 miles not knowing when they were done last. I was also going to install the mishimoto but its wet and windy so fingers crossed its at least sunny tomorrow.

    Installed the carpet centre console.


    Going to get one of these shift boots so I can get rid of the MDF board between the carpet and the tunnel
