Some Minor Fixes
Created on 2009-06-01 20:11:11
Have owned for 3 weeks now and have done a little bit of work (waiting for BO'd suspension parts has slowed me down)
Installed new compact battery (designed for Miata), obtained from Auto Zone for $90 bucks. Resurfaced console and rear interior quarter panels (with speakers) using nice vinyl picked up from Joann's Fabrics, stripped interior, touched up a few minor rust areas (amazing how well this body has held up over 40 years). Installed Dynamat, sanded and stained wood deck panel in rear hatch, installed new carpet, gas struts for the rear hatch, new seals in doors and quarter windows, new hi capacity alternator, auxiliary fuse box to handle new stereo and auxilary power socket, new wooden sterring wheel (I couldn't fit comfortably in driver's seat given the large diameter of the original steering wheel).
