I had myself a bit of tinkering over the weekend and made some headway with the irritating little things that always get left out because they don't effect driving enjoyment so here is my winter to do list and progerss so far.
Finish of the interior restoration by fitting the steering column switch cowls and stickers and fit the new plastic bezel to the window winder and new dash top ashtray. all of which I've been buying over the summer. DONE!
except the transfers...Will get mrs fb to do these for me when I'm brave enough to ask! I also managed to hide the hanging purple wire into the steering column wire trunking where it should be. It had been left exposed after fitting new horn slipring and I hadn't worked out how to undo the clamp.
Repair the hood header rail and replace a bit of the frame above the drivers window. still not been brave enough to take out header rail but will replace the bit of frame at the same time when I find my courage.
Replace the split plastic quarter window in the hood with new clear vinyl again already purchased. (Bit nervous about this one!) Had a go at this but failed miserably at cutting the replacement clear vinyl to the correct size. After 3 attempts I am close but not close enough so gave up and stuck it on with duct tape for now as I'd cut the old window out completely and I plan to drive up to Coventry on the 7/11/15 for a facebook group meet. It has already come unstuck so will have to try again.
And maybe flush out the heater matrix and repaint the box as well as replace all the rubber coolant pipes. Not yet.
Mike.
