better than having one in your ass

End of the day the VT window seal is used because the stock VL originals were a poor design, even if the berlina won't see much weather i would still use the VT window seal for some piece of mind. You'd be pissed if you found rust in a few years time because you went the stock seal!

just chock it up with window silicon lmao Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Hmm... remind me to never buy a car from you Trent!

lol well if a stock seal properly sealed up doesnt stop rust then a smaller seal isnt going to either to be honest, if both have the same contact area and material its the design of the body not the seal thats causing the rust

stock ones hold water due to a poor design vt ones don't

have you looked at the ford stock watts linkage man i was looking at one 2 days ago looks fking pos!! i would by getting cromy bars then adjustable rod ends dont do a leb job

Yeah i read somewhere hows the falcon Watts linkage aint the best. Something to do with it mounting on the diff. I'll try find the site.

I wouldn't be using factory Ford watts arms, I'd be using custom made adjustable ones. It's still up in the air; I haven't made any decisions about the watts setup yet.

damn u jack coming in and ruining my day lol, i still plan on using factory ones, wether it rusts or not, il just spray the car again Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

In a similar boat as you guys with this weather strip. Got the car running today. just fuel pump and ecu. Was gunna go the 608 uni-seal (VT mold) But having second thoughts. I dont want the stock plastics to retain all that water and rust up again??? Isn't that the problem with the stock setup. Water builds up under the plastics, causing rust. I reckon a nice stock weather strip would look as good as the VT mold???? Cant decide???

I suppose you could have the VT seal, and then glue the stock trims on too. The sides of the windscreen are really the only different part, so with some careful placement you could have the best of both worlds. Well, maybe. Not sure hjow it'd turn out.

Yeah good idea. I dont see why it wouldn't work. I might look into that. Smart fella....

your car makes me jealous Tim! the paint on the cage matches the interior really well!

Thanks Justin. That took a good two hours to do what you see there. Carefully cut the scuff plate to fit around the bar, cut and plug the carpet, fit the seatbelt around the the bars...the other side is the same, minus the scuff plate. I need to replace the front two and rear right. Once I finish the other rear scuff, the back seat can go back in! The colour was matched off the inside of a rear door handle. Never seen sunlight.

Did You get new carpet Timmy? Or is that old / 2nd hand carpet thats been cleaned?

New carpet Locky! Knox Auto Carpets off eBay. It's moulded, but you have to cut all the holes yourself. It's two piece as well.

Diff housing gets dropped off tomorrow to be filled with goodies. Diff housing is at the shop, should get it back in a month.

lol wtf.. went from it being dropped off to being dropped off in a month ina day. how does that work? im following in your shoes tim, getting myself a fairly clean red berlina interior hopefully by the end of this week Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
