'91+ windshield in a '79 242 GT? FYI 200 1979

posted by  someone claiming to be Mike W. on  Thu Oct 18 01:42 CST 2001 [RELATED]

Greetings:

I originally posted last week asking if this would work. Assured by the collective wisdom of the board that it would, I had it done at a local shop and picked the car up yesterday. Looks pretty nice! Anyway, for those who must know, the windshield the shop used was a PPG part number FW00667GBYN. I was charged a bit over $200 with installation, but this included a little extra labor to sand and "POR-15" two small rust spots at the bottom corners at my request.

Also, the question of DIY tire mounting/demounting has been raised here several times. The Harbor Freight manual tire mounting machine (Bob Haire and I each have one of these, they require a good bit of elbow grease but DO work) is on sale at 50% off right now, here's the URL:

Next adventure: the leaky rear main seal on the '87 245! The fun never ends!
