Re: It's Official-My Notch
The work has begun.
First thing to do was to replace the rubber seal that goes between the body and the engine that feeds air into the engine.
Cleaned off the Seal and bend the the clamps straight.

On the body side,the metal was bent inward,so I had to panel beat it straight


Then I replaced the Rubber seal


Now it can breath fresh air and stay cool.
