Changes to my car. Serial: B54

[B57-1974]

I suppose I should start a build journal to document the changes that I am doing to my car. I will admit that some of these things are not recent. I hope you will cut me some slack on that one.

The first thing that I did to my car was to replace the "bug eye" round headlights.

Next, I removed the hump on the top and filled in where the T-Handle was. Didn't need it because I have a hydraulic top.

This picture also shows the sunroof that I installed. It has three clips that you move and the glass then pops right out.

Here is the sunroof open:

And the sunroof removed:

I'd like to see how the inside of the roof looks where the sunroof is.

Whats the headlight out of?

Probably should have shown this one first. The sunroof has a mirror finish. That is the roof of the garage. A light and the garage door opener can be seen in the reflection.

Is that a new sunroof? Mine is very similar and I need a new seal but can't find one anywhere.

Do you have a model name / number?

I'd like to see how the inside of the roof looks where the sunroof is.

I cut out the exact shape and then fiber glassed the roof where it went below the sunroof frame. The sunroof has screws that hold the frame against the top roof layer. The lower roof layer is now gone.

Whats the headlight out of?

1980 Ford Fairmont. There are dozens if not hundreds of models that use this headlight. The form factor is 2B1 and the cross reference is H6054.

Here is the rear. I took this out of the Ford as well. I just bolted it on. I did have to fiber glass the round hole for the old headlight. The round hole went above and below the square hole. The small half-moon shaped holes in the front picture are for the screws that hold the metal rim in place and for the adjustment screws.

I'll try to dig that up for you.
