First off, congratulations! Beautiful! Enjoy in good health. Just great cars. By the way, I'm not sure your soft top is stowed completely down. Seems the tonneau cover is tented a little high. Those fasteners are already under tension and I don't want you to break them unnecessarily.
Bella looks to be the Isabella of the 3.2 world! Great year '88', she looks just like mine. C H E E R S -Mike
Nice looking Mondial there... But you have to take the tonneau cover off to get the rear windows up, perhaps this is the problem. . Just playing. Congrats!
Congratulations! Driver her in good health. Hope you get the window issue sorted soon, there are some threads here on window repairs.
Congratulations for your new baby. Great car you will love. If you can't fix the problem for your rear window ask Mike for his solution. Just in case you get cought in rain.
Thanks for the welcome ! Its actually the front windows that are having issues but Ill sort that out this weekend... I had the PO put up the top and show me that the back windows work...sticky but they work....and the top is ripped both sides ..good thing that I already know Ruben at Rich and Famous Tops in Van Nuys hmmm tenting too high yes it does seem to be under tension.....yes the top was a bear to get down the previous owner helped but he had basically "glued" the buttons nearest the hood bonnet in place years ago .. I thought I watched a video in the forum but maybe it was for a "t" because I dont seem to have the lever to pull up while the top goes down Is there a better tutorial link for the top? Also is there a link for exploded diagram to remove the switch console and also the door to get to the window motor?
Can I suggest that if you replace your top to make sure the interior will be tan like it should. Most replace them with black interior material. If the top frame is tan the interior should be tan.
I was thinking that as well, or Etoile. But I also heard that they're essentially the same. The Gottis are still available! Gotti wheel 55A (GBS)
the rims are Etoile 455 17inch imo fills out the wheel well and gives a beefy look some more pics Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
