I snuck a little time into the garage this weekend to clean with the vacuum and a broom, although I didn’t get to drive anywhere. After cleaning out a pile of beach sand and pine needles, I looked over the floors and interior a bit further. The first thing that struck me is the unconventional installation of the front seats, the mounts of which are welded to the bases. So if I want to install Chewbacca’s old seats (one of which needs reupholstering), I’ll need to find a pair of new bases to start with.<\/p>\n
I pulled the bikini top out and unrolled it for the first time, and it looks like it’s in great shape, which is a relief. When I pulled the soft top off last weekend, I did a quick inspection and found that it’s in worn but decent shape for the time being. I may pull it off and store it somehow so that I preserve it for as long as possible, because new tops are prohibitively expensive ($1K+).<\/p>\n
The weather is lousy this week, but I’m going to try to break away from work early tomorrow evening to go pick parts from a Scout locally; there’s a pile of good parts to be had which have just been waiting for me to get to them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
