Two weeks ago I dropped my car off at a friend's house to start the re-paint project. After returning from our trip back east, I stopped by to check on the car, and much to my supprise he has pulled off both doors, the hood, front fenders, rear hatch, and was activly making all the body repairs! Evidently he wants a practice car in order to hone his already good body work skills for re-doing his 356 sometime next year. We might end up with one heck of a great looking track car!

Replaced my ball joints and engine mounts while the crossmember was out of the car, about to tackle the oil pan gasket!

Rolled it out of the garage to make room for toolboxes, air compressor, engine lift, and whatever else I could salvage from my mom's home that was hit by a tornado. My deceased father was a Master Toyota Tech.

Hey, V2 Rocket,
Do you have details of your custom radio antenna to share? I need to do something.
Got mine back from the shop last night new axle bolts, hopefully all good!

New hatch shocks, replaced grommet around hatch lock (repairing everything from rear-forward in preparation for RR IV).

Next: 10 speaker system refurbish, Porsche CD-1 rheostat cleaning, clean contacts for headlight washer switch. That's all the interior needs.

just ran a length of wire tucked away around the windshield edges under the trim panels....one end of the wire is insulated, the other end connected to the radio...works great

Prob would work even better if you used 75 ohm cable.

Thanks, I was thinking about getting a hidden antenna but may try this the current in screen on works on some FM station but not the poor signal of NPR !
