The seal of my left vent window won't fit properly when i close it... I'll have to remove the regular window, the vent window and then change the seal most probably... FUN!

I have the same ! I bought the parts to rebuilt it 3 years ago, but it's still waiting to be done. Another thing I have to do is to replace my wheels, but this may be done before the end of this year.

My car is painfully under construction and will be so for a long time.   That's the biggest gripe.  Seriously, though, I'd have to say the rear butchered apron.  Some genius in the '80s cut the rear cutouts for a Monza muffler.  Ugh.  Good news is as soon as I have a spot weld drill bit I'm going to yank that sucker off and go with a removeable new apron to simplify engine R and R.

[roland]

Get a stock 1200 in the car, reaaaly quiet!

Or my solution, earplugs.

[67worshipper]

the 1200 might be quiet roland but quietly uninteresting

You know, for short drives, the noise inside isn't bad. it is the long drives, after about 45 minutes, it begins to wear on me. Driving home from Nicks to my house (just over 60 miles) on Sunday nights leads to some buzzing headaches. It's one of those things... you leave in the car and the noise is exciting. Get where you're going, have a beer, get tired, then to have to face that noise driving back... not a big deal. But you see I am getting old....
I have sound deadening across rear wall at luggage area. It helps. But at 4200rpm for an hour or so....

You're not getting old; if you were you wouldn't hear so well.

What you need is a little firearms training.  Let's go shooting.  Just half a box sent down the barrel of my .44 and you won't even hear that motor running...  Leave your earplugs at home.

I'm here to help.

.89 4th with 4.375 R/P
My front tires are small so who knows how fast I am going... but I'm keeping up with LA drivers. Let's just say it's LOUD

[sheep]

the loose nut behind the steering wheel

[Bewitched666]

The noise is the straight cut geers,get those out Jim

[javabug]

My interior is awful.  The glue on the footwells from the old carpet, nonexistent door seals, the poorly-repaired battery tray.  If all that was taken care of I'd probably feel a whole lot better about the car overall.

[dirk zeyen]

put the steering wheel in the right position, dechrome my engine tinware and paint it black....
