February 2022

Worked on reupholstering the seat. The frame needed a little repair and painting. Used a kit from Jim Carter in the original maroon color. Dug out the remote oil filter and cleaned and painted it. This is an S-2 style that holds 2 quarts. Rebuild the door hinges with oversize pins and bushings, which should keep the pins from seizing up in the hinge bars which they're prone to do. Replaced window regulator rollers and rivets.

If you're smart enough to take it apart, you darn well better be smart enough to put it back together.
