    Coast to Crawl: South Carolina to Rubicon Trail and back

    No Spare Holes in Roll Bar

    I was thinking of putting my roll bar spare tire mount on Project Penny. I was surprised that there are no holes in the roll bar. The hardtop has the side plates on the inside which indicates it an early 1981. Maybe the early 1981 didn’t have spare mount holes in the roll bar. Anyone have...

    Clutch Travel and Stiff Pedal

I thought putting a T4 would be simple with new, used T4, flywheel, cutch and pressure plate. The cutch pedal is not traveling enough to fully engage clutch, it doesn’t go...
