Luckily I don't have to go back to work until Wednesday Night
Because you are right I did not sleep all that much the past 24hrs. I all ready started working on the car. The front windshield has been pulled along with all the window plastic. I was surprised how heavy the Buick Riviera windshield weighs. I was expecting it to be much lighter. Still compared to other modern sedan cars it weighs far less. The rearview mirror is very small and compact. The car did not come with side mirrors. So this will give me the chance to come up with something cool when I redo the doors.
They used a 15" steering wheel which is wayyyyy to large. I could hardly move in and out of the car with this sized steering wheel in the way. My knee was hitting it while sitting inside the cabin. So steering would be pretty much a no go with a 15" and a guy my size. The car needs at minimum a 13" preferably a 12" if I can find one. I know the 13" comes stock for the Triumph and are easy to purchase on Ebay. I am also going to try to locate a quick release hub for the steering will this will help out with safety as well as help getting in and out of the car.
My plan of action for today is to remove the doors from the frame as well as the engine hood which is not opening without massively pinching the rear by the back gap. I am also going to start removing all the vinyl and carpeting. I want to open everything up and take it down to the bare bones. This way I can start with a clean slate
Ok gang I will update soon with more pics time to get to work
