Re: general refitting and rust questions.... Posted by Jon [Email] ![]() ![]() ![]() In Reply to: general refitting and rust questions...., baggsly ![]() |
Mark,
Some answers...okay, maybe opinions too
(how difficult is it to fix rust under a clear coat metallic paint and then repaint or recolour that area to be close to the old paint? or is it a matter of painting whole fender afterwards?)
I would plan on painting the whole fender after repairs, even then it might not match the original (faded??) paint.
(i hate the location of the window switches/sunroof switch on the car. my 90's were further to front of car and sunroof in front of accordian. this has sunroof in front of window switches and i keep hitting that when i want windows. can i use the switch pack from the earlier cars in the '91?)
The window switches are NOT interchangeable, unless you want to cut off the existing connector and re-terminate the wires to fit the old style switches, high recommend that you don't do it.
(can i change the gearbox dipstick bolt head fitting with the earlier more convenient clipped handle one? is it a different fitting mechanism altogether?)
The side cover from the earlier transmission fit with no problem, go ahead and change it.
Good luck,
Jon
