I’ve been dinking with a few things. I got the drivers seat apart and dropped off the bottom frame at my friends for him to weld up all the cracks for me.
The passenger side door didn’t open from the outside when I got the car. Passenger side window was busted out at some point before my friend got the car. He said the door has always been hard to open since. After lubing up the latch mechanism the door started working but the outer handle was broken. I put a new NOS one last night. Now it opens nicely. Next thing to tackle are the door lock actuators. Years ago I got the original one working in my saleen. Unfortunately the original ones in this car are long gone. My friend replaced them with repro’s which are froze now. At the swap meet there was a free box that had a new nos actuator in it. I installed it in the passenger door last night but something is binding when locking the door either by the key or inside knob. I didn’t have time to fool with it much after as my daughter came to visit.
After she left I went out and cleaned up my tools and stuff. I took a look at the ashtray lid. It is not broken but the spring keeps popping out. Not sure how it is supposed to go nor do I know how it stays in place. Can someone post a picture how the spring is supposed to go please? Thank you
