    The red one

    This is what I'm doing this 4th of July week. Installing all of this stuff:

    (and a couple other things)

    My dad:




    And here's the rest of the car:

    :D

    From where I'm sitting right now:


    Let's see if we can get this driving by monday!

    Dropped the subframe today. Looking pretty good so far and everything seems to be working out.

              It's a factory hard top that was stripped of the canvas and painted jet black.

              We got the TAB's off and put new ones mostly in. I don't have pics of them in, but it was basically a vice and a lot of petroleum jelly. They're lemförder rubber TAB's.

                If you don't mind, how much did you pick up your hard top for and how difficult was it to find one?

                  I bought it with my car. They're not too hard to find, but for one in this condition I wouldn't say it's worth less than 1.5k.

                    Nice, yea I've never liked convertibles because of how they look with the top up but seeing yours makes me want one.

                      One of my parent's friends just came over..."Whoa your car's all jacked up outside." "Yep, we're doing a bunch of work on it" "You took the tires off too!" :rofl:

                          Got the new shocks on. I could compress the old ones with one hand lightly pushing up on them and they had zero rebound.

                              Got the subframe mounts halfway in. Today was a pretty frustrating day. Didn't get much done and spent a long ass time doing it.
