Default Any Pics Needed? 1979

I have set aside today for a number of minor round-tu-its that have been accumulating for some. In particular reinforced attachment points for the noses on the armrests and glass adjustment on the passenger side. And some clean up tasks. This in preparation for a sunny Canada Day cruise on Monday. While I am soaking up the sun and a few cold ones I would be pleased to take pics of ANY - well most, I do not have a hoist - parts on a 1979 for which you need information. Do let me know.

I will give the fuse box a try today but my camera is very limited at that focal length. See what I can do.

I tried again with some success. But I cannot see that these pics tell much of a story. Can you be more specific as to what you wish to see? There is a lot of wiring in that area.

Those pics will help me, thank you very much! You see, the fuses in mine are either missing or incorrect amp, and nothing electronic works except the headlights.

Other than the fuse box, there are some odd wires sticking out here and there that don't seem to belong to anything... but I don't have the interior completely out right now. When I take the rest out I'll figure out what goes where.

Thanks for the help! :cheers:
Jerry
