Subject: Re: Progress on the 79 project car by Matatk on 2009/10/23 1:37:27 Also worked on the door locks. I disassembled the d/s from the door and lubed the actuator rod with grease as well as wd-40ing the crap out of the mechnism that the rods connect to. Made a huge difference. I was going to do the p/s as well, but it's still riveted in factory style, whereas the d/s had previously been removed. I was just beat already. There is a noticeable difference. D/s is very easy to lock/unlock now with the key, p/s is extremely difficult. Unfortunately, the power locks are not working. I am not getting power at the motor when I hit the switch, although there is power at the switch itself. I think the aftermarket alarm (non-functioning) is interfering with the door locks. I will remove it in the spring and resplice all the wires back together correctly. I also reinstalled the door panels temporarily just to drive around with since they look nicer on and rattle less. I also got a chance to peel off the old crappy tint job from the back window. Came off relatively easily. Some remaining glue, but that will be washed off at a later date. It's the end of the season and the 79 will be going to Michigan next weekend to hibernate for the winter. Matthew |
