No brainer then.
An unusually quiet week this week - partially due to man flu limiting my enthusiasm for being in the garage. Even the deliveries have slower down so perhaps I almost have everything?
These eBay bolt stores are very infectious. It reminds me of pick in mix where you were told no more than £1 or 1lb and it keeps on going up and up!
Not loads to report - a few more little bits arrived this week but I am now probably at the point where until I start building the car back up, I won't know what I don't have. I tried cleaning up my windscreen seal - its a good, genuine one but had black sealant added at some point. Tried soaking in white spirit and it started to work but perhaps it needs to be soaked in a lot more for longer. May have a replacement seal lined up though so fingers crossed.
The painstaking process of welding (and fabricating where metal just doesn't exist) continues and this is the worst area on the car so hopefully progress is being made:
Also tried to clean up my gear selector but it hasn't come up great so has gone off to see if re-plating will help:
I think I am now at the point where I have to concede that my August 2016 target is going to be missed. I did optimistically aim for Billing 2016 but that just seems impossible now. I am sure the welding and body repairs will take us to the end of April and even if I can get it in paint during May, time will be against me. If I end up missing Croft in September, I will probably put the whole thing on hold until next year as I don't really want to finish it in Winter knowing I can't use it as much.
Try silicone sealant remover from Screwfix or another diy store.
Thought about that option as well but was worried that it is on rubber rather than hard surface like its intended use. If I know I am getting another seal for sure, I will then take the gamble!
Yeh I know what you are saying. Just patch test it first.
New rubber sat here waiting for you
Will drop it off at some point.
You sir are a top man. God knows where this project would be without your track it down skills!New rubber sat here waiting for you
