So nice on those streets.

Why do all those squat so hard in the back? I couldn’t stand that.

It’s that way from the factory. I’m convinced it’s a safety reg thing or clearance. They do make sport springs that drop it an inch.

Oh man, that is perfect. Those Shakotan wheels are excellent. I think it needs some centre caps though. If I ever redo my interior I’m gonna go for a red one.

Yeah, I bought some but the center bore isn’t right. The guy who bored them from 73mm to 75 didn’t push it though far enough and I can get them fitted.

I haven’t had time to get it straightened out because I’ve been having electrical issues in the ignition system.

Ah I see. I’m also going through the electrical right now. The fuse boxes are junk in these cars, I had to re-solder every connection.

Yeah, I’m going to get a new(er) one for mine. The park light circuit melted all the plastic around it. Classic.

Did you solder all the rivets?

Can’t believe I didn’t respond to this, yes we soldered all the rivets on the box.

Alex, wanted to ask you a question about your fuse box. How did you solder all the rivets without melting the plastic?
