*Update
*Update* - including stripped out pizza!
The combination of payday, trax and watching the fast and the furious on itv2 or 3 last night (mostly prob the cheesy film, mainly) inspired me to carry on with the car a bit more today; it being my day off..
I haven't done anything in a while, ive needed the parts - prefered to wait it out until the right parts and the right prices came my way rather than willy-nilly spending on whatever i get my mits on first..
Anyway; big big thanks to colin (novarally) for the door glass rubbers; theyve done the job spot on.

I did think they were the incorrect ones when opening the parcel, however a nights sleep later i checked again to discover i was lookin at them the wrong way round.. lol

I cleaned everything up; did the swap then went to the car..

Ide already made a start weeks ago; as seen in last update. In between all ive done is painted the 3/4 window post. Anyway like a man on a mission i went at it in one swoop.. neglecting to take many pics along the way..

Looks loads better - all in all went ok, the car now has the symetrical/balanced look back and i hope the satin black breaks the sea of blue down a tad, even if its only subtle ..

Spent the weekend finishing the brakes.. been a long time coming but finally got it hooked up - things went well, weather, mood etc etc...

Also, ive made a start on refitting the seats..
Previously fitted on 'tailoured' cobra subframes, where the rear mountings have to go through the floor..
That way sucks; there is too much play/flex in the poor old floor for anyone to be happy never mind safe etc etc..
So im going to mount them differently, for now all ive done is removed one of the seats to guinea pig another, better way to fit them. Grometted the old holes up..

Lastly, we did a little more to the one bit of major rust on the car; inner arch edge - was fibreglassed ages ago; now undersealed - but will layer more unseal again soon...

Thats it pics.. Have one or two more short vids of the car tootling in the street; tho fascinating for me , its not massivley exciting viewing, testing brakes lol..
The car is soon to move to new premises; a lil lock up where its properly out of the weather.
Ill be continuing to tinker over winter; but once the seats are back in to a degree im happy with; theres not much left to do really..
I keep ya posted.
