here are some pics of the tyre fitted an of my fully kitted and air conditioned spray booth
Well another week gone and some progress made just slow as I can really say this rebuild is being done single handed, my right hand, cos the left doesn't wok properly. I have sprayed more parts like the tank, steering column, pedals, hand brake air filter and other smaller bits. I finally went to Ferro Brake for the clutch cylinder kit so now all the hydraulic bits are done, just to be bled. I also got all the studs for the wheel spacers fitted and tried the new 13" wheels and I will definitely need to put the 'sport pack' arches on, I tried the standard arches I had but they just don't look right. I fitted the new taper roller bearing kits to the rear, I know that I will have to do the same with the front but that will have to wait a bit. I also got the vinyl for the door cards and rear inside cards as well as the new carpeting . Then I spent a morning sourcing rubbers seals for door and front and rear screens. I was unable to get front door window tracks. I can't get rear window seals but the existing ones just need a bit of reglueing, THe boot seal too is not available but I will use a standard 'D' section seal which should work.
The project for the week, before I drop the engine back in will be to install anti-vibration and sound proofing material on the interior and heat resistant sound proofing under the bonnet.
