June 4, 2005 I decided to finally put the doors back together today. I still had all the old parts, such as the large plastic washers, the cone shaped springs, the clips to hold the handles on, etc... But I couldnt figure out what to do with the spring. After reading a few posts on the VMF (some of which were wrong) I put that advice together with the sketches in a book I have, and figured out that the spring actually goes behind the door panel around the WINDOW crank. What is even more confusing is that even some of the part catalog places call it a "door handle spring". The small end goes against the metal part of the door, and the large end goes up against the inside of the door panel. The spring is supposed to push the door panel out against the handle to make it look like it fits the same as the door latch handle. The angle of the latches handles and window cranks should be the same when the window is up. Both of them should point up, and towards the front as shown above. I also put the rear cranks on, and the interior now looks fantastic! I still need to buy a new boot (the old one looks kind of faded now that the rest of the interior is done.) Once I was done with that, I tried out a can of "Trim Shine" made by Stoner Products on my engine bay. I think the results were very good. We will to see how long it stays looking clean now! Note: there are some "before pics" of the engine, then a few of it with the Trim Shine treatment applied. Finally, there are a few pics of the new trunk mat, and a good pic of the car at a local cruise night.
