The next job was to clean the car and ready it for the final Rubber Seal coat, before assembly could start.
Then the fenders had to be fitted with the Fender "i" rubber, As the previous owner had only used Half the screws, I had to get from Midas, Screws and fixing clips. The Back fenders had the reflector Chrome housings fitted 1st, and then fitted followed by the back bumper......
The observant of you would have noticed that I fix the Chrome housing with counter sunk screws, and not with the reflector, as is normal with the Type 3.
This is because the correct reflectors are hard to come by, so now all I have to do is stick it in with double sided tape, so future replacement will be easy.....
Then the preparation for the front fenders started....
Then the front end with fenders, crash bar, and chrome bumper was next.
Durring the long stay at the Spray Shop, the door hinges rusted up, Had to take then off, but as this could damage the door, the hinges, and the paint work, I decided to drill holes into the hinge at a downward angle, to make oil pockets.
This has done the trick, the oil has penetrated the hinge, with out having to remove it, and should I have removed them, besides the possible damage, the pin would have been to small for reuse, after cleaning, now the hinge is fine and no play.
Only when seen in the sun, can you notice the sparkle in the Clear Coat, just livens up the colour a level.....
Also had to place the new dash in place to get the full effect, Can not wait to fit it, but alas, I have to get the electrics done and tested before the dash can go in permanently
....
Next the prep for the sound proofing, and then the wiring.......
Till next time..
