  • Today I installed a new window channel in the right door and a new hood strut in a friends white 92 GL Festiva.
    Charged him a total of $35 including parts. He's coming back next week and I will install a new window
    channel in his left door for $20. I had ordered the channels for him in the February group order.

      • Put the rear struts in on Blue the other day. Had to cut out a notch in the round part of the lower end of the strut, cut the bolts on both ends and pulled the middle piece of the bolt out. Then cut the bottom end of the strut off.
        What a pain in the azz!
        New struts are on all around now and ready for some cruisen in Blue.

            What silencer? Are you talking about the reed valve assembly on a carb car?

            • Replaced the radiator & fan in Squig. Now I think I have to replace the sensor in the thermostat housing because the fan stays on all the time!!

              Also took Shadow over to Germantown Muffler and had him replace the whole exhaust from the down pipe to the rear. He removed that pesky catalytic converter and put in a flex pipe.

                Shadow still had one from the catalytic converter to nothing ..... it was plugged at the top ...... I guess from when someone converted it to a EFI from a carb.

                  No what I believe he is talking about is the resonator chamber that is supposed to help quiet the intake noise, although I noticed no difference with or without it. Only on FI cars.

                            • Replaced the 2 nylon window grommets that hold the drivers window in the track.
                              It still tilts when raised.
                              I need the window channel run. It binds in the area where the outside mirror is.
                              Yes, I've used copious amounts of silicon spray. Don't help.
                              Please let me know when the next 4Green order is ready.
                              I'll get both Left & Right.
                              If it don't fit, use a bigger hammer!

                              • My driver's glass also tilts about 4" from the top.
                                My passenger glass does not tilt. Both doors have new inner and outer belt moldings + new glass channel runs + new nylon window grommets.
                                I believe something else is responsible for the issue.
                                For now, the window still goes up and down fine, even with the tilt.
                                It doesn't bother me, because I have a power winder and it straightens up when it gets to the top.
