Door hinges and side windows





The doors hinges will be sand blasted and


receive a new coat of paint.


New rubber stops and some new gaskets


will finish the job.





The side windows are in place after cleaning

and greasing the side winding mechanism.


I’m waiting for the guide channels till they are


back from the company where they will be


sandblasted and coated again along with the


bumpers and the fresh air induct and front


windscreen panel.






Also the front and rear windscreen are back


in to place.















Underneath the car




The tail pipes will be cut later and two


double end pipes weld on.






I replaced the loud exhaust system with two


extra silencers as the car will be a daily driver


and making long trips will be more comfortable


this way.







Some little more paintwork will be done in the


near future to finish the underside of the car.





















Bleeding the brakes

After the installation of the brakes it was

time to bleed the system.






With the help of the misses this was only


a ten minutes job.







All the rear brake pipes are replaced by new


ones and all the flexible hoses on the car are


replaced by braided steel ones.















Rear brakes fitted


I’ve reinstalled the rear brakes by using a printout


of a picture I made before dismantling.




Bought some new pistons, springs and caps.







It all seems so simple when they are on the


car but once dismantled it’s hard to remember


how everything was installed. Pictures makes


it so easy.
