  1. Alright, thanks for the tips, I'll check out eBay. Even if they aren't great quality it's okay. It would be much better than the ones in the car that have lots of cracks running through them.
  2. Both of the windows are leaking, the back seat pop out ones slightly more so than the longer ones that follow the hatch. We live in Oregon so I would like to fix both of the seals before winter comes. It as a manual transmission The spare trunk area is in surprisingly good shape- it does have some rust but that is to be expected. My guess is that it leaked at one point and someone fixed it (as I can see areas on the seal for the rear hatch window where someone sealed it with a tar-like sealant). The car was used by the previous owners (who owned it since '81) as a spare car, and it was parked under a carport for most of it's life. The dash is all original however the vinyl covering it has been torn in multiple places. Same with the seats, they are all original however the front seats have multiple tears and so there are seat covers over them now. The back seats are pretty much in mint condition because the previous owners never used them and just kept the seats folded down all of the time. I'll definitely let you know if I figure out a fix for the seals. I'm thinking of taking the dimensions and then trying to find something that's a close enough fit and modifying it to make it work. It has just over 110k miles. The odometer is only five digits- so it currently reads 10,000 miles- which I know is not accurate- but going off of what the previous owners said and the condition of the car, I am sure it has less than 200k.
  3. Okay, that's what I thought after looking at the kit when it arrived in the mail. It's a 4 speed. Thanks, I paid $1495, and then another $150 or so at the DMV because the previous owners let the registration expire.
  4. Thanks!! I definitely plan on keeping her as stock as I can, I feel pretty lucky to have found one that is this original. However- those beehive hub caps just had to come off. I'm keeping them in the garage in case I ever decide to put them back on but it looks so much better with them off.
  5. Here she is.. Needs to be done: leaking window seals in the small triangular back seat windows fixed before winter transmission rebuilt speedometer fixed or replaced gas gauge fixed so it reads accurately tachometer installed cd player installed gas lifts for the hatchback replaced In progress: rebuilding the carburetor Finished: hub caps removed carburetor removed, disassembled, and cleaned I have a couple of questions about a couple of the projects I plan on starting. First, does anyone know where I can purchase the seals for the back windows? And also, we purchased a 'universal' transmission rebuild kit from JC Whitney (http://www.jcwhitney.com/omix-universal-transmission-rebuild-kit/p3064688.jcwx?skuId=2292268&filterid=d11713y1976g2u0j1), only to discover that what we purchased was not what we had expected a transmission rebuild kit to look like. Does this look like a transmission rebuild kit that could work on my car?
