Re: New wiper arm for 36

Collar seems to be nice and tight, getting the spring compressed and not slipping and scratching the paint made me nervous! Its on and back to normal again, thanks for the help!

Re: Project getting close to the finish line

One more for the group, interior is done except floor mat. It was a LeBarron Bonney kit from ten years ago. Was going to change it but was in great shape and really matched the blue color nicely .

Re: Project getting close to the finish line
