Well, the window seems to work fine for now, but as you mentioned it may just be a short term repair. I went to a local junk yard today and they had about a dozen Birds there to pick parts from, and a driver door glass would cost me $25.
I found some door switches... almost a lifetime supply! My passenger seatbelt works great now with a different switch.
And I found out that I have some decent looking Kenwood speakers in my doors...
Something I thought of to help me put my door panels back on - unscrew the chrome plastic thing from the door lock rod and put a drinking straw over the threads to align the rod into the hole in the door panel. I used a straw from Fazoli's, but similar results can achieved using a straw from almost any fast food restaurant. After the door panel is on, remove the straw and install the chrome knob on the threads. It was real easy doing it this way.
And my driver side armrest was broken, so I drilled a 1/4" hole through the door panel and installed a 1/4" bolt through the armrest bracket and door panel and tightened them up. This was a lot easier to do with the door panel off. The armrest is a lot more solid now than it was.
And while I had my instrument cluster out today to replace my speedometer, I soldered a wire across my oil pressure gauge resisitor and swapped out the sending unit so my gauge now works like a real gauge... it's cool.
Here's the difference in the size of the sending units
Wow, I sure did hijack my thread!
