Managed to get the glove box lock back together and working again after it exploded into its component parts last week.
These arrived in the post this morning. Gave them a try. The brackets need remaking to tuck them under the bumper 40mm more. Quick play around with photoshop.
Replaced the drivers side window regulator this afternoon as it was refusing to wind up the glass. Not as bad a job as I was expecting, though quite a few of the door panel clips broke. Only the new replacement ones though. All the original 50 year old ones were fine.
Cheers. Its been booked into a few local classic car shows in the coming months. All seem to be on a self judging system to hopefully other people will like it as much as me.
Decided to give the front wings and 1/4 panels a polish and a couple of layers of wax. Front wing was sanded again and compounded to remove the orange peel i'd missed too.
Spent another hour or so this afternoon polishing and waxing the rest of the body. Could really have done with being outside as its not easy to see down the side of the car when theres just 2 overhead fluro lights.
Cheers. The passengers side rear wing needs a patch respraying as i found a few small rust specs coming through. Think the vactan didn't fully convert it before i painted. Thats something to do in the summer when its not raining every single day of the week.
the weather certainly has been terrible of late. Ive found some bits on Gusbus which need attention in better weather!
I still haven't been out for a run in it this year as the weather has been pants. Theres only 6 miles on the clock.
