Sweet!

BRILLIANT
Everything seems to be working.

New rad and themostat installed.

Temp constant through the town in traffic and drops on the open road.

I am really pleased as all the restoration work I wanted to do is now done.

1. No clacking exhaust manifold noise.
2. Perfect cooling system.
3. No PAS leak.
4. Car is completely water tight.
5. Speakers upgraded.
6. Alarm sounder fixed.
7. Dashboard squeaks fixed.
8. Tidied up dashboard leather.
9. Re-trimmed doors.
10. Re-sealed doors.
11. Fixed window closure.
    
12. Windscreen sorted out.
13. Idles well - mixture is perfect.

The only things I'd consider doing now are:

1. New seat belts (the old ones got wet and now stick a bit sometimes)
2. Respray - paint work is looking rather tired
3. GAZ or Nitron shock absorbers
4. New discs and pads
5. Remove precats - (maybe)
   

When I get time I'll take some proper pictures and get some PDF tutorials up and online.

Hoor and door seal fitting

This is a surprisingly easy job!

I ordered 12m of seal - more than I needed just in case.

Here's what I did for the targa hoop:

1. Remove hood
2. Open doors
3. Drill out rivets on targa hoop
4. Pull off old seal (gently)
5. Fit new seal to targa - cut to length and re-rivet

Here's what I did for the door/roof:

1. With hood removed and doors open
2. Drill out rivets behind drive and passenger seats at top of 'door posts'
3. Fit new seal and cut to length
4. Rivet into place

Noticed windscreen damaged - so got it replaced under insurance.
