Done anymore work?

[speedingorange]

I sure have... but of the top secret type

One thing i did do was test fitted the bootlid last night. Seems to fit nicely, so its now gone back to the bodyshop to be massively straightend out due to being a rubbishly pressed panel. by the way this is the quality of the heritage mk1 bootlid. Steer clear.











as you can see plenty of fluctuations in the smoothness of the panel.

How did you clean up your gear change? i have a really manky one that need to clean up!

Also, how did you remove all the sound deadening from the floors inside?

Awesome rebuild, can't wait to see the finished article mate! Keep up the fantastic work!

I cleaned my gearchange with some stuff for cleaning electrical contacts. I would think carb cleaner would do the same job. I used that a toothbrush some wire wool and a couple of other small wire brushes from the local £1 shop.

The sound deadening was removed from the floor with a hammer and chistle. then skimemd with one of the plastic grinder bit things that look a bit like a birds nest? if you know the ones i mean.

Yep,

They are as they come off the press and aparently this is one of the better ones. I cant remember who it was i spoke with at heritage, but he said not to bother sending it back as i would only get one the same or worse back.

Talking of Heritage panels,i`ve just fitted a driverside doorstep/doorpost panel and at both ends of the panel where it finishs the edge looks like its been cut with a plasm cutter not leaving any sort of straight edge,also i have a heritage inner wing with no hinge holes!

Im not going to say anything about the qualilty of Heritage pannels to..

[speedingorange]

In all fairness the other panels i have had from them... and there have been a few! have been 100% which is why i was so shocked at the quality of this item.

[minipete]

When i did the passengerside all the heritage panels were spot on.
They maybe need some form of quality control!
