I (mis)use my rivet nut tool more often than I expected.
Almost any time I take something apart that requires two wrenches I try to put a rivet nut in:
-Fuel filter
-AC dryer
-Coil resistor mount
-Probably more I'm forgetting

If you're not a fastener purist, most trim panels I replace the factory screws with M5-0.8 nylon screws (15 mm length). You can get a big box for pretty cheap and they'll never seize up on you.
You just have to push the panels together before tightening as nylon won't draw two piece together well.

Thanks I love the look of the early cars . I believe my car originally had dark facias and rims it was just so sun bleached being a southern car they were faded. According to the vin could go either way. Rims are definatly early thin cast style though. I had to go dark lol. I plan on having fascias painted soon dark as well. As far as the caps I got them from Rob Grady. And as far as the 235s I just feel it's totally 80s and had to do it right lol

My cousin did a fenominal job on the ol sewing machine . Left me a bunch of extra material to trim on my own .
On a side not I echo everyone else complaints with the CV axles . My rebuilt ones already popped a boot . I hate the design of the flange with no lip .
