Check your ground. Had many issues and has always been the ground.

I am 6’ with a long trunk and short legs and fit very comfortably.

If my memory is correct the side vents are for input/return air to the fan to push the coil and out. It may be only condensation from start up. Does it clear out once the the car cools off. Need to take it for a ride to see if it clears or is it another problem. If continues need to remove the dog house(side panels) to explore the source of the water.

Although having a moonroof/sunroof can be nice...eliminating it completely is sometimes a good idea!
I agree but requires a potential car to be repainted.

I had the epoxy go out and did not need to remove the complete unit nor touch the roll bar or headliner at that time I refreshed the cage that hold it from topside. A member named Jared or Javier B as he went through a lot and posted on his adventures a few years ago. Should search some of his post.

I agree with MFG. I did all of the above.with a single wire quadro jet.

When you finish your show board please share for us less creative types.

I have been looking for years. Let me know where to find. I put some Z rubber molding up temporarily. Have been using for years. Not the best idea.

By date of picture I did the project 5 years ago. This is what I took out.

I replaced both with the linked product. It has been in for three seasons so far without issue. Good luck!

Anyone have a picture of the window mechanism outside of car preferably the right-side? Would like to know the shape of the long flat piece off the 1350844-window regulator. Thanks
Do not remember which side. Hope it helps.

In my 1983 which was a 305 now a 350 and set up the same way the A/C and PS are on the drivers side and the alternator on the passenger side.

It is easy to train the wife. Make the repair $$ come out of her allowance rather than your car budget.
But do not listen to me as I am on my fourth wife and a couple $$ in repair is cheaper than a divorce.
if I had take my own advice I would be on the Ford GT or Maserati site rather than trying to keep my Stude running on the cheap!

You are looking at 1950’s technology. The Avanti II are just a continuation of the technology. Why? They had left over parts. I come to Avanti’s being a prior Studebaker owner and have been dealing with the same system for years.

Great review

I think I need to replace the steering box gear.
-
Yes it had a blown 305 when I bought it. Replaced it with a crate 350. I wish that I had more funds at that time and replaced the 305 with an LS. Unfortunately I need to go through the controller (wife) to get funds.
Next couple of years project is to tighten up on the steering and rebuild the front end.
It still has plenty of get up and go! -
Yes on recaro seats. The door panel is leather including arm rest. I do not have a build sheet.

My 83 is leather.

Dayton wire wheels. Still manufactured when I checked 3 years ago

I gave up and took it to a respected body shop. Not perfect but much better than I could do.

Also, if I were to want to remove/replace it, where the heck IS it or what does it look like? anyone with a photo or drawing of the thing and/or its whereabouts? My longer term plan is to probably install a remote for the locks, since they are already power locks, and that install will probably include its own alarm anyway.
Mine was under dash around fuse panel. Lots of wires. Box about 3”x4” 1/2” thick.

My 1983 had a UNGO alarm system. I could never figure it out and it was a constant pull on the battery. I had an alarm/audio guy rip it out.
1983 Avanti II trunk will not latch.
in 1965-83 Avanti

Remove the cover and put Vaseline on a folded brown bag and run it between all moving parts to lube and clean all sliding parts. Did this to my car about 8 years ago and have not had a problem since.
