Re: New Member

It's the vacuum distributor. It leaks on every setting except defrost (even when I plug the hose for the center vent/defroster servo which leaks badly).

Re: New Member

Well i got the top done finally. It's far from perfect but perfect from far. lol. If I plan on tackling one again I will invest in a pneumatic stapler. Now I'm workin on HVAC issues. Is it true that the selector switch is no longer available? Cuz I need one. As well as a center vent/defrost servo.

Re: New Member

K. Does anyone know what to do when the rear bow tack strip is too hard to accept staples? Can one get replacements? I probably should have checked this out before I got to this stage. I was hoping to get this done tommorrow so I could proudly post some finished picks :D . Oh well...........

Re: New Member

I live just outide of Swift Current in a small town called Waldeck. I got the car from SGI Salvage in Saskatoon. There is hail damage on the hood but it's not that bad. There is a PDR place in town that does good work but maybe I'll try Briano's trick. Where does a guy buy dry ice anyway? I'm pretty...
