    it's been a nice day. there was me and one other pop top.
  3. Poptop’s Sebring Project

    I have been keeping my eyes on craigslist for 914 parts for my car for a while. I wanted those style heat exchangers so I can loose the bus ones, and when I pulled out the engine I noticed the thermostat and bracket was missing and the linkage was bent which may have contributed to the...
  4. Poptop’s Sebring Project

    Since I had the block looking so good I couldn't stop there and had to sandblast all the tin and fasteners and paint them. Since I usually drive myself nuts trying to figure out if a certain hole took the long or short bolt so I did this, and then painted them right on this piece of cardboard...
  5. Poptop’s Sebring Project

    Thanks for the encouragement, the engine is already back together and installed, but still needs some fine tuning. When I went to take the engine out I left the fan and shroud on it, that was a mistake. I was taking out tail light bulbs to try to get enough room to drop it. I ended up having...
  6. Poptop’s Sebring Project

    At this point things look cosmetically acceptable and I figured a day to tie in the new steering column and I will be driving. Not the case. When I got into the wiring I was appalled and wondered why this body never burned to the ground by now. Hot wires left snipped and dangling, wires...
  7. Poptop’s Sebring Project

    I stripped as much of the chrome as I could on the rims and sidepipes ( chrome rims were pitted), did some body work on them and painted them black to match the rest of the theme. I though the taillight panel needed to be blacked out as well, so it got painted. I wasn't ready for the new...
  8. Poptop’s Sebring Project

    Made a quick cover up sheet metal panel for the dash Painted and installed with some gages and some carpet on top so I can actually drive it mounted seats and seatbelts. I am very happy with the way the seats match and fit the contour and style of the car. bought and installed some rear...
  9. Poptop’s Sebring Project

    I should have updated this a long time ago. But while the weather was nice I was working on projects. Today is the day, work closed, 60 inches of snow supposed to hit Buffalo. I put the Sebring on the road about 3 months ago to help encourage myself to work on it. My niece was also having a...
  10. Found this one on Craigslist

    I took a look and some pictures of this car today. would have got a few more but my camera battery ran out. Dual port engine seized from sitting. couple nasty notches cut on both sides of engine cover. Those cutouts show even with the engine cover on. Engine cover fiberglass modification...
  11. Peter Eagle SS MkIII, UKHOZI, (black eagle)

    If possible this is the configuration I would try. By adding a triangular brace to the corner bend and attaching to that roof reinforcement rib, it would become a very sturdy place to push on. I would then attach the bottom on to inside of the outer shell of the car(or as close to as...
  12. Poptop’s Sebring Project

    I am use and desensitized to people calling my vehicles the wrong thing. My Manx Dune buggy, continuously referred to as Jeep or Doom Buggy My Max being called an Argo, with a wench (instead of a winch) and my Hearse which was constantly called a Hurst Challenger being called a...
  13. Poptop’s Sebring Project

    Some updates on my Sebring. My car had side pipes on it when I got it. I was amazed when the seller told me they were functional and not just decorative. I like the way they were done. They hide the drop floor pan nicely and the system tucks up perfectly in the space it has to use. It also...
  14. engine upgrade

    Is the Sterling engine compartment tighter than the Sebring? I have the 1.7 L in my and it does not look like they had to cut anything for it. From what I have read heat exchangers and exhaust are interchangeable between 1.7 and 1.8 so I would think they were the same physical dimensions.
  15. Poptop’s Sebring Project

    Thanks for the complement on the windshield. I wish I could take credit for it. Usually I have to do everything myself or I am not happy. This was one of the few times I was extremely pleased with the work a professional did. I love almost everything about the Sebring except two things that...
  16. Poptop’s Sebring Project

    Finally got back to working on my Sebring and its time to start my journal. Here is the start of it. Bought it off eBay. Always wanted a Sterling, but when I saw the Sebring I liked the body lines even better. Here is how the outside looked when I got it. Here is the interior...
  17. Sterling 100AA

    After I paid $1000 for a windshield and shipping I decided to pay the $100 to have it installed for me. They did a nice job and I was happy with their work, they suggested the strip to cover the gap.
  18. Which paint scheme looks best, let me know

    I bought a Sebring and am trying to figure out which design looks best. I have decided on painting it red (maybe some black too), and doing a red and black interior. All black would look awesome, but from what I hear I wouldn't like dealing with the heat from it. While it is still white I...
