After shipping out a bunch of stuff, looked for something to do on the LeMans. Found the new spark plug wires - mnnh, that would go on nice before the doghouse goes on.

I bought one of those ratcheting wire crimpers - Summit has them, they work superbly! I remember making wires with a pair of needlenose - charlie-fox!



The Taylor wire and ends worked well - used dish soap as lube and away I went. Only initial issue was stripping the conductor off. I had a piece of scrap metal with a notch in it, it was just the thing. Summit should put a notch like this in the end of the crimper handle and it would really go!



Back to the doors. I installed the weatherstripping, those little plastic pins are a PITA. I wonder what the factory did here?

Once the weatherstripping was mounted, I put in the striker in the "B" pillar.
Passenger side went well, driver's side horrible - latch won't accept striker?

I noted also the door has a ton of sandblast in it - WTF? Painter was done blasting first go-around. Now the window mechanisms will have to be pulled and cleaned.
