Brad, I'm working out how best to reseal the airbox. I'm working on a post about this and why I think it's important (albeit a major, major, king kong PITA to do so, unless your car's already in a million pieces...)

Found a piece of history buried in the console of my '88:

It's from a Nokia Mobira phone. According to Wikipedia Mobira was a brand for early mobile phones from Nokia. The plug seems to be dated '86, so based on the timeline the phone was from either a Talkman or a Cityman - see pics of both here.

Installed front hood liner with decal. I'm sure the car is faster now because it looks cooler if you open the hood.

First we took off the hood. The electrical connections for the washer warmers and hood light unplugged easily and the hoses disconnected without issue. Removing the old liner was accomplished by first razoring out the old by parallel cutting the old hood liner with a window scraper. This worked way faster than pulling and scraping. My brother-in-law like-end it to sheering a sheep. He's single so I didn't ask push him on the sheep reference. We used liberal amounts of turpentine and let it soak for 3-5 minutes and the remaining liner and glue melted right off with a light scrape.

Applying the new liner was smooth and we did not use the wax paper procedure called out in the Budd instructions. Basically, the adhesive set up really fast and we were able to line up and adjust the liners without difficulty.

I'm not going to re-connect the washer fluid warmer lines mostly because I'm never going to need them and one has already smoked itself. The connector plugs were badly fouled so eliminating them is just another thing that can't fail.

Replaced my headlight switch with a new one. The changes were dramatic. See my 'Tricky AC problem' post.

Got my Mass Air Flow sensor back from Injection Labs and installed it. Replaced the connecting boot too as it was cracked. Got a bunch of parts from Pelican, 928 MS, Roger and 928intl and a new light from Frank (thanks!).

I noticed better response from her with the rebuilt MAF, no more hesitation too.
