My 86 convertible has an aftermarket radio in it (that is on it's way out) and I wanted to go back to the original Alpine radio. I picked up a nice one a while ago that came with an Alpine 3505 ampli ...

I;m not familiar with the front apron reinforcement... I have the K-panel reinforcement (not installed) and I have installed the front shock tower (to cowl) brace. That made a HUGE difference!

I went to install the horns on my 86 roadster and had to hold off because of some questions. I picked up an NOS kit so I'm adding it to my car.

First, it looks like the 86 has to have the compress ...

I used a grinder to get the extra superglue off (It was REALLY hard) and then used an orbital palm sander to level out the resin that had oozed everywhere. I know ...

I am adding another screw point to the top of the panels and I'm gluing some reinfor ...

I ordered the rear shock tower brace before I fully understood the reinforcement that ASC did to the car. But, since I had it, I went ahead and installed it. I have an 86, so I figured ANY stiffenin ...
