and now we must rebuild...
Hey guys,
Actually got a few days in a row off so tried to get as much done as possible at the garage, its still really bitter outside so heater on and doors closed for as much as possible!!
first job was to get the pillar trim stuck back down after it was peeled back for painting/repair. i plan on giving this a really good clean up once the glass is in and its a bit more 'secure'
for now i used some superglue and clips to hold it down, forgot to get a picture of it clipped up as i was working alone so cracked on.
before, can see it hanging loose (excuse the very unorganized garage)
after sticking
also managed to get the rivet-gun out and re-attach the window chrome
ordered a new radio aerial, however the adapter plate was slightly different and i knew it wasn't going to fit the existing holes.
new plate, after some modification of the old support, i ended up with a slightly rough, however functioning mount
not as 'slick' as i would want but its functional.
that was all i managed on my own on Thursday evening. back down again Friday with my old man for support.
the weather picked up so we pushed the car outside and i started work on the interior, the goal was to get it cleaned out and a coat of stone guard down.
pretty tired looking horrible dirty pans.. then for some tidy and then for the transformation
started on one side as we have some wiring loom issue on the passenger side so i wasn't able to clean it up and paint until that was sorted.
the old man sorted out the loom as we got some power to the rear.. i have huge problems with this rear loom, need professional help with it
Now i know i'm going to get in trouble for this but i really wanted some good sounds in this car so i did cut the rear shelf and fitted some speakers in, they will be hidden and never seen!
some nice focal components up the back, to be paired with some 5.5 coaxial fronts and an 8" sub in the boot space and a hidden Bluetooth head-unit in the glove-box.
jumped in the garage on Saturday for a few hours but didn't manage to get many photos taken. finished off the interior painting and fuel tank repairs (will come on a separate blog)
also fitted the boot, however it does need some adjustment to get it sitting correctly.
now if anyone could help me out with some electrical questions i would be really grateful! i will post up on the main forum for help
thanks for reading!!
