SV: [T3] Visited my Square! (and popout question)
I know the feeling - last winter I used my square as a daily driver, but
this winter she's been resting under my car-port. However, last week I
couldn't resist it any more - had to take her for a spin around the block
(without insurance... =:-o ). Turned the key on and off a few times to build
up fuel pressure, and then she fired right up. Boy, these cars are fun
driving in snow!
Good news: went to a local swap meet on saturday - picked up three (one
left, two right side)complete vent window assembly's with FRESH rubber(!)
and a cromed shiftstick. Offered him 150 SEK ($20) and he took it! Must have
been a long day...
The guy also had a set of -69 squareback popout windows. The rubber was
there but cracked at the edges, the inner seals and the lock mechanisms
seemed complete. The little rubber/plastic pillar grommets for the hinge
tabs were missing, though. I'm negotiating with him on this... What's a fair
price? Will they fit my «73?
