Progress - Miss Purdy

With the temps back up into the high 60's again I was able to check the A/C pressures. On the High side 189 psi / Low side 30 Psi. Good enough for government work. Installed a new transmission pan gasket. No leaks so far. Removed both door panels to check for wear in the two window guide post bushings. I installed a zip tie (Thanks Nio) in the upper bushing on the driver's side to take out a small amount of wear. The passenger side was fine. Dissembled/cleaned the window motors and greased the internal gearing. Also lubricated the vertical guide post and horizontal runner for the windows, buttoned it all back up - ops checked good. I found on the driver's side door panel that someone had been in there before and had broken off most of the plastic panel pronged installation grommets. Luckily Auto-Zone has all sorts of generic plastic parts. Also cut to fit a "Dollar Store" shower curtain for a inner water shield for the driver's door panel. (Thanks - Mr Merlin)

The Odometer gear will be on the back burner for a while. I made a rough check of the Toe-In after the alignment and I think they must have lifted the front tires while on the ramps. I'd specifically explained to the technician about the 928 requirement for setting the alignment and that it is important that the weight should not be removed from the front suspension. I guess I'm in for an argument when I take it back in. Especially since they had talked about how new and high tech all their equipment was.

So Far, Almost So Good... Michael
