Renovation to do list

Items I really need to do…

The organic nature of these cars is evident over some time – you start to realise nothing stands still or stays fixed and it will continue to degrade regardless of whether you drive it or not.

  • get synchro on gear 2 fixed
  • clean and repaint engine bay
  • maybe new steering wheel at some stage – current one has some heat damage but is covered currently with a leather wrap I made so no urgency to that
  • work out a way to better clean the dimpled edging vinyl/plastic fabric around floor/doorways step
  • maybe add temperature gauge and sender [not supplied on dspecial - and not urgently required]
  • retouch chrome paint on dash fittings and rechrome dial surrounds
  • rust removal and repaint of boot panel which has appeared as dots along the leading edge from the inside [which  is a very common problem.]  and the painted surface has crazed. I had the boot repainted and they did really bad job – it needs stripping again to bare metal.
  • repaint roof again due to compression marks in small section of the fibreglass roof panel – sort of like circular stress marks
  • de rust door edges and check drainage holes again – and respray with cavity wax.
  • check rubber drainage seals and replace any corroded ones
  • re-polish stainless hubcaps
