Windshield Update: I've learned that if you don't want to work with windshields for the rest of your life, you need to go to school and get a meaningful degree in a profession you can entertain for long periods of time.
I hate windshield gaskets, but I managed to get most everything off the frame. The frame is absolutely rust free, very atypical for these old 02s. I had to remove the metal 'teeth' frame that held the headliner in place. Apparently, this is an early 2002 thing and the windshield gasket that was designed with this provision in mind is no longer available, so off it came. I'll save it because like most parts of these old cars, they become ridiculously valuable when no one has any left.

I managed to wrestle the new windshield gasket onto the glass. I may install tomorrow or thursday depending on a few things.
I also raided the office for those little black clips. Very handy if you need to redo and reglue a headliner.
Hopefully the next time I post, the windshield will be in. I hate windshields, but I understand their importance.
I was browsing ebay, looking for a cool, period-correct MOMO steering wheel to go on this car. My parameters were that it has to be cool, and bigger than 350mm. I don't know how I got to searching for Ferrari steering wheels, but this one caught my eye. It's 370mm, and belongs on a 1990 Ferrari Testarossa. It's a NOS unit from 4/89 and I had to have it. The seller was asking some ridiculous price, but I messaged him and made a deal outside of ebay. The wheel is being shipping to my second address as we speak. I think it'll look good on this car.
That's all I have for today. Still waiting on the engine to show. It's almost been a month now.
