Installed new tires after finding out the ones I had were 25yrs old. I knew the ride would be better but DAMN, night and day doesn't even do it justice. Way way safer too!

Very Nice! I too will soon be replacing the door seals. Do you have any input on the door seals you installed? Any install issues? Where did you purchase them from? Did you use the retaining clips on the inner seals? Did you replace the upper door seals? Any input would be greatly appreciated. Pics? I'm still wondering which kit to purchase and from which vendor.
Thanks
You can't buy happiness, but you can buy a DeLorean and that's sort of the same thing....

Will do:
After doing my business in the car, I made sure I thoroughly wiped the area clean. After all, there is nothing worse than later finding remnants rubbing stuff bare back there!
That could cause something to short circuit.

Installed new convex mirrors, a big but simple way to make the car safer to drive!
