Week 8 Friday and there's paint on it......
It just doesn't show how shiny it is yet, and thats before they start polishing
Also found driving light
Found originals (Or so it says ) from allpartssouthwest.com
Delivered will be about £110 the pair, so I hope the're originals, but I also found 2 new wing wirrors £20 each......
Have also had to buy a new oil cooler £130 delivered from wanapart, via the ford Mondeo link go figure, you just have to look everywhere !!!......... Peugeot quoted £249 +vat (But they didn't have any)
I've ordered the SFS performance hoses rather than Semco, because...
1. Turnaround time for SFS 5 days (Semco quoted 4-6 weeks)
2. Costs about 30% less, (Phone SFS direct and ask for a cheeky discount I did)
3. The hoses are at least the same quality, and I spent a good 20mins talking to the guys there about them, very helpful (Semco wern't)
The guy at SFS had worked for Semco for 7 years I think he said, and although he didn't say anything bad about them he didn't say anything good.....
Oh and finally when I get the car back if I send the air hoses to them they will make a set of SFS ones for me too, how cool is that !!! (not for free but they won't charge me for tooling costs)
Finally I found some new carped for the boot over the wheel arches, although I could carpet the whole car with the roll they send (£19.99 free delivery)
www.endurancemats.com It's thicker that the carpet there now, but that can only be a good thing.
Thats about it for this week I think, been busy, but good. Let you know how we do next week, when the trim starts going back on. !!!!!!!!
We estimate 2 more weeks and it should all be done.
PS if you liik closely you might see a messerschmitt (or the front of one) in one of the pictures (Where's wally lol), it's the third one they are restoring.
PPS you can click on the pictures and that will take you to a fill size version if you really want a good look.
