MFX Posted 8April, 2017 Author Report Share Posted 8April, 2017 I remember doing those type or a similar type of windscreen rubbers on an LH Torana I had years ago ........and yes they are a frustrating pain in the ass to get in ,,,,got me stuffed how they did them on the production lines back when the cars were being made .........Was a nightmare job ,,and we had similar issues to you because much of the front scuttle panel had been replaced due to rust and was,nt the exact same shape as the one that was removed so the bottom edges of the screen keep poping out in the corners ........ended up with a windscreen guy doing it in the end ,,still to this day it has me stuffed how he got it to stay in we try,d every thing...I have had a few good tips now, so hopefully it should all go to plan. We will see. Haha, I didn't even start it! I admire your stubbornness, especially where glass is concerned. Not a fan of playing with glass as of yesterday! Are you now missing a limb...?

MFX Posted 21April, 2017 Author Report Share Posted 21April, 2017 After struggling with the front windscreen, we almost had it in and we cracked it! I also fit a new fuse panel and then start sorting through the wiring. Raven, MarsMala, GUT and 4 others 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OZ930 Posted 21April, 2017 Report Share Posted 21April, 2017 So close…….on the bright side, it may be worth considering a windscreen with the internal aerial. MFX 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MFX Posted 22April, 2017 Author Report Share Posted 22April, 2017 So close…….on the bright side, it may be worth considering a windscreen with the internal aerial.The antenna is actually something I haven't factored in yet. I have had a couple of people suggest a 964 windscreen, but I want to keep the aluminium trim to go with the rest of the windows.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carrera28 Posted 22April, 2017 Report Share Posted 22April, 2017 Do you need an antenna? A shame to spoil the lines of your beautifully painted car with an ugle antenna.

You can stream radio or music on your phone or Spotify etc. MFX 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pork Chops Posted 22April, 2017 Report Share Posted 22April, 2017 Jeff, just checking.Did you say CLASSICRETROFIT.COM? Re the horns I'm going something like this. Nice and loud and with the flick of a switch you can raise the tone of your ire! Note it's a 'sports car' horn too. MFX 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
