Alexis,

What sunroof hardware do you need? I have a complete set of tubes and lifting arm assemblies taking up space. Only thing I am missing is motor. I bought a set from a 85.5 and everything is different on pre '87 cars.

My update is I went to Advance and got 2 new headlamps and my armrest hinge and tray arrived today. That's my weekend project starting tonight if i can as soon as I get home.

The sunroof hardware I am having issues with are the hinges and the wind deflector....the plastic pieces are toast and the screws are stripped out.

What would you want for those?

Fuel lines back on. Keeping my fingers crossed that fixes it. BTW the line has a 70deg U or V bend to it, if you were to use a standard 3/8in fuel line you will crimp it. Guess how I know

Just have to give it a test now.

Project 1: Fabricate home theater speakers, design is done, drawings are made, just need time and MDF.

Project 2: Hunt down an Iceshark lighting kit, or specs to make my own. I've got a line on headlights, lamps, and relays, its just the schematic, wires, and connectors I'm looking for. Might source equipment at West Marine.

Project 3: Replace Vacuum lines. Haven't started.

Project 4: Find an S2 Intake Manifold that doesn't mind being sacrificed to the engineering gods for R&D in a supercharger project. Also looking for a source who deals in Autorotor superchargers aside from KenneBell.

That should keep me busy for a week or 2.
