Hello, This weekend I brought home something I've been waiting on for years. VIN #961 now rests in my garage. It's an '81 5 speed with black interior. Started working on it today and the thing about the "Love/Hate Relationsip" is right. A list of parts kept growing throughout the afternoon, but how can I not help but love looking at that car. After lurking for years now I'm going to start playing twenty questions. First objective was to replace the spark plugs. I got 5 out of six which isn't bad, but how do you get to the left front one near the AC compressor? Any special technique? Any method of taking the least amount of parts off to get to the plug? My car has the two key system and I know that the suppliers have official blanks for sale. I will probably grab some in the future but are there any blanks from Curtis, ILCO, or others that really work? With only one set of keys I'm going to have a nightmare of locking them in sometime. I'm glad to finally "Live the Dream" and I hope I'll meet many of you in the future. If anyone is in the Kansas/Oklahoma area shoot me an email if you want to meet up sometime.
