The first repair is done

I purchased a replacement driver side mirror on eBay last week and installed it today. It is the first thing that can be taken off the list.

Here is a before picture:
And here is the after picture:



It took about 1 hour to complete this job, but the engineer at GM that designed the interior window cranks should be fired. It is the worst possible design and I can think of 5 different ways to install it that would make it much easier to take on and off than that little metal clip. This would have been a 30 minute job had it not been for me taking a long time getting the interior door panel off because of that window handle clip. Also, the Clinton's manual should have told me that it was a 13/32" nut (x3) holding the mirror in place.

I also removed the pin stripe that was just on the front quarter panel today.

Hopefully, a lot of stuff will be done this weekend.
