    Rust near both lower corners of windscreen

    Yeah the only water that should hit it now are occasional washes - it's stored in a humidity controlled facility, never goes out in the rain, and the screenwash is broken (dead short behind the dash somewhere, runs continuously if the pump is grounded). I guess all I can do is take the...

    Rust near both lower corners of windscreen

    So 1969 Fury III convertible, I hadn't noticed this until I happened to have the bonnet up and the doors open at the same time while replacing the door jamb switches. Is this a common rust point and if so how depressed should I feel? For now, I got a long brush and painted some Ku-rust...

    Convertible boots 1969 Fury - correct clips

    Fusible link is on the 'to-do' list. There's a lot on there, most of it will have to wait for the summer now as my only "workshop facilities" are my driveway and this is definitely not the season to have it outside in the open. Until then, they at least had the decency to use one of those...

    Convertible boots 1969 Fury - correct clips

    Yeah I'll make a video next time I'm at the storage place. All I have to hand is this, what's interesting is it's down slightly more than it seems to want to go now, just on the left side of the picture below - I wonder if the roof is just folding incorrectly - I haven't taken apart or adjusted...

    Convertible boots 1969 Fury - correct clips

    Your sunroof retracts better than mine - one side of mine ends up half an inch or so higher. You can't even push it down more, just seems that the top itself won't squash down, the part where it attaches to the lower body gets very tight. I blew the fuse (again) trying to do it while the...

    Convertible boots 1969 Fury - correct clips

    Your boot should have the rubber part already sewn to it - at least my new one came with it. I'm going to guess that the snaps & zip may have been an aftermarket repair kit when boots shrunk and snapped the clips / tore the seat rubber stitching.

    Convertible boots 1969 Fury - correct clips

    There should be a metal strip channel right at the top edge of the seat, if you have a bit of rubber in there (mine had rubber and one half of a zip) just slide it out and the front edge of the boot should slide in.

    Convertible boots 1969 Fury - correct clips

    Thanks - people at work have been thinking it's older than it is due to the overall look and WW tyres and people don't give this car any hassle - even Audis won't tailgate it. I feel like when the radio is fixed I should probably just have it loop the Peter Gunn theme as soon as the engine...

    Convertible boots 1969 Fury - correct clips

    Well I tried it on today - it's a VERY tight fit and is the right part, but I can't get it on for 3 reasons: 1) It's just a bit too small, maybe it'd stretch out a bit. 2) The pop fittings around my trim are pretty much lined up with the clips, so you can't clip it on accurately. 3) It's so...

    Convertible boots 1969 Fury - correct clips

    You know what - the trim IS shaped so the clips would work. I remembered I'd taken some close up shots of the paint in that area as it looks like there's been some bondo on one side in the usual place. Wherever I'm finding any I'm making a note of it so I can get it all cut out & done properly...

    Convertible boots 1969 Fury - correct clips

    The snaps on the car seem to be stainless steel - on mine every one is as shiny as if it was fitted yesterday, removing them won't help because there's no lip for these plastic clips to latch into. I was thinking about just getting some snaps and modifying the boot myself (paying anyone to do...

    Convertible boots 1969 Fury - correct clips

    Strange thing is I saw another 69 Fury III in the UK when buying mine, and it has the exact same metal snap bar. Mine was a recent import and the other had been here for decades and looked like nobody had ever spent a dime on it (pictured). I emailed legendary for advice, seems like I'm going...

    Convertible boots 1969 Fury - correct clips

    Hi, a friend in the states ordered a convertible boot for me from legendary, it's arrived with plastic clips sewn into the edge but my car has a piece of trim with about 30 metal snaps along it. Is the boot the wrong one or has someone put the wrong fixings on my car? I think it kind of looks...

    Looking to buy a Fury III, advice on a located car / warning signs?

    Took it out for a run today and smacked the right side manifold flange on the metal stop for the electronic gates at the storage depot. At least I hope that's what it was because the next candidate is the transmission mount. I now have a loud clanky rattle from that side at idle, the downpipes...

    Looking to buy a Fury III, advice on a located car / warning signs?

    Yeah I picked up a set very similar to that but with optional rubber caps, and a mighty 3 ton low profile trolley jack.I guess jacking it up on the diff is safe - what about a good front jacking point?

    Looking to buy a Fury III, advice on a located car / warning signs?

    Does anyone know if the Fury II and III 1969 fender skirts are the same thing, or if the 1970 ones fit a 69? Ebay has some Fury II 1969 ones and some Fury III 1970

    Looking to buy a Fury III, advice on a located car / warning signs?

    Ok that little connector is actually a fuse holder, someone put that in instead of a fusible link - 30amp twin blade car fuse. It's running again!

    Looking to buy a Fury III, advice on a located car / warning signs?

    Well I found the wiring diagram - 69 Plymouth service manual section 8-119. Confirms three things: 1) Fusible link is a #16 wire, shame it doesn't say how long it was supposed to be. 2) The yellow wire should really be red. 3) The NSS would certainly stop it trying to turn over, can't really...

    Looking to buy a Fury III, advice on a located car / warning signs?

    Here's the best photo I currently have of that side of the engine bay - little grey connector block with the yellow wires each side? Looks like a section of that has been replaced in the past, yellow joined to red, red folded and taped, probably connects to yellow again as it goes back into the...
