1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

I took it to a windshield guy with a really good reputation so hopefully he should be able to clean up the rust and get it sealed up. This is what it looked like before.

 

I think most of the leaking was in the drivers side, so hopefully it didn’t screw with the ECU too much. Replacing the sensors did take care of the relevant codes, so it can’t be too bad I guess lol

 

Lowest I remember was in the $80s

Can probably DIY for that with majority of cost in the crimpers, but hey, new tools!

 

Damn

My memory isn't very reliable anyways

 

If the windshield doesn't fix the leak, it could be the 1st cowl leak problem. It has been fixed before.

 

I think the individual lines used to be that much. Kits used to be under $100 not too long ago.

 

i'd wheel it

 

JUST REPLACE IT

You already know the issue.

 

Did it work?

 

Yea I just got it back and it looks really good. I took it to the car wash after and it didn’t seem to leak in at all like before.

 

Time for some UV blocking film hehe

 

hmm...doc seems to think Sofia caught Croup and my wife may have gotten it too which is uncommon for adults to pick up. So far I'm fine so that might make it more likely. Glad we got her in early cause croup is no bueno for kids, usually worse for babies though.

 

You mean like this?

Not sure about the Amazon brands but yup

I should get some for my old ass house too lol

 

Lol is that to protect the interior or the weatherstripping?

 

Kris is bananas with his cars, I love it.
Look at Matt Hummel's page as well, @hummul He drives his 356's carefree, its great.

 

I wanna be a sheep farmer sometimes

 

Drops the interior temp 15+ deg on a hot day in my experience and it protects the interior for sun damage

Temp on the dash went from 130 to 115 on a 90 deg day when I measured lol

 

I wish there were more pop-up options for other (non-pickup) vehicles/makes. (I get why there aren't, complexity for manufacturers and not many people want to cut into their vehicle, like the AluCab top for Land Rovers, and the Ursa Minor for Jeeps make that unnecessary.)

I really like the idea of a simple build like this.
