I found a used combo switch for my 1983 Civic 1500DX on eBay. Arrived today, looks way nicer than the one in the car now.

Waiting on a driver side mirror because some scum sucking bastard stole the glass out of the existing one and I had to make do with a Dollar Store hand mirror modified and wired in place.

Poor Zippy has suffered many indignities. Locks screwdrivered out (replaced). Heard weird sounds outside one day went out to see some little rat skateboard jumping over the car and landing on the hood. Minor dents. What the hell.

 

Holy hell, where the hell do you live where kids do this? Also, please post up some pics...

 

Portland, OR. Happily that bunch of kids is long gone.

 

Lol tbh prob didnt get stolen prob fell out , just held in with a lil glue

 

This was during one of the times it sat for couple of years. Not just the glass but also the bracket/holder it goes in.

 

Ohh you made it sound like was while getting groceries ersumshit

 

 

The combination turn signal/wiper switch assembly that you must pull the steering wheel to remove.

 

Got the new side mirror in. While I was swapping it, I noticed the screws were not tight and there were pry marks on the **** and trim. I think the thieves took my good mirror and installed their broken one. A pox upon them.

 

or its just parts off a 40 yr old economy car

 

I prefer to suspect there is a local conspiracy where they break into your vintage vehicle and replace everything with exact duplicates! Or maybe I should cut back on the coffee.....

 

vandals aside post more pics of this thing !

 

If the weather clears up a bit I will do so!

Spent some time today reading the Paint Maintenance thread. Apparently everything I thought I knew about car care is RONG!!!

 

 

Peeling trim. Bummer.

 

that thangs sweet

 

I think that every time I look at it.

 

Drove to work today. I really have to do something about the headlights. So dim.
