Well Its 3/07/09 and I have not made an entry since 07 by the looks of things. I have since put the new convertile top on, this was not as hard as I thought it was going to be. It only took a couple of hours, the only problem was withstretching the top over the top rail which attaches to the windshield. I did not get it perfectly straight and there is a small "pucker" on the driver side corner. Not too bad though.
I also replaced the right side kingpin. Another project which was not a bad as I thought, It did take a few weekends to accomplish as I was working outside and the weekend weather did not cooperate. I think it took two full days - maybe 16 hours or so, to replace, I also replaced the shock bumper and and the wheel bearings. This was in the summer of 07 - The car passes state ispection after the work was complete. I have just purchased a set of Kinkpins - off ebay - and will get into the left side kingpin this summer. ( I think) I am going to start accumulating the misc hardware to accomplish the project.
I purchased a new steering wheel and will put that on in the spring.
Back to the kingpin, I started a journal with the steps involved, and hope to publish it on this site when I finish the kingpin project.
