The Raven Posted November 7, 2020 Author Share Posted November 7, 2020 (edited) So today I decided to fit the widow trims and adjust the windows. Also fitted the cup holder. First up the easy bit cupholder Next the before window trim I took off the door panel and the reason for the window being off was all to clear the adjuster was set to the bottom. Pulled it up and tightened. Next remove old trim again the reason became very clear when I found this I also adjusted the window tilt to fit a bit tighter and fitted the new trims Went for a drive and all is good. However this happened. So she’s parked up until my new rubber cones tomorrow.

mwilkinson Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 Has that part of the window trim broken off, or has it torn and folded back on itself with the movement of the window? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It had been broken off. The other side was the same to. My guess is it wasn't taken off correctly during paint. As the screw holding it on was painted the same as the car. Meaning when it was removed it was already broken. Edited November 8, 2020 by The Raven (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Raven Posted November 8, 2020 Author Share Posted November 8, 2020 (edited) Today I went after the fish bowl head lights. No oven needed they more or less came away by hand after undoing the clips. Tiger seal later and they can be left to dry over night before re install Edited November 8, 2020 by The Raven (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Raven Posted November 14, 2020 Author Share Posted November 14, 2020 MOT failed, main beam headlight on bulb, headlight bulb not level. And the idiot put it though as a Mk3 and failed it for no cats. I have fixed the actual fail problems. And rebooked with an MOT center that knows what they are looking at.

The vin on my car shows a n/a which isn’t on the annex. Being before 1995 that means it gets a non cat test. Plus they passed it last year. Should be fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Raven Posted November 17, 2020 Author Share Posted November 17, 2020 And she’s passed. Only note was some slight cracking in the rubber on the ns tyre. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Raven Posted November 22, 2020 Author Share Posted November 22, 2020 So today’s mission was to replace the 3 pin resistor that runs the indicators. Due to fitting leds in the front side and front housings they where running way to fast. Screw that job.... the only way to access it was to get upside down in drivers side wedge a torch and attempt to get my had half way up the dash. The offending item is right at the very tip top of the footwell fuse box. A good hour later I now have normal flashing indicators Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Raven Posted January 30, 2021 Author Share Posted January 30, 2021 All done. Looking how faded the sun screen was I suspect that it was the original screen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Raven Posted February 28, 2021 Author Share Posted February 28, 2021 (edited) Got my skuttle dipped. Not been out since the snow it seems my roof bolts are working a little loose while driving. So on Monday I will order some new ones and change them out with the aero seals when it gets warmer Edited February 28, 2021 by The Raven (see edit history) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mwilkinson Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 Nice job Russ. Was that lacquered too? At least this way your cabin ventilation will still work. I've noticed that the genuine carbon ones people are installing don't have the any louvres for the cabin ventilation system Am I missing something?

The Raven Posted April 4, 2021 Author Share Posted April 4, 2021 (edited) I have found a few annoying stone chips that i am going to get sorted. Summer jobs. Replace aero seals. Mod or replace the roofs parking lock as its rounded off. Replace the front 2 aero roof screws. Replace seat motor. Attempt to regas AC And try and find out why my mirrors dont work. (I know this is to do with my dash loom swap........so im thinking i missed a connector) i have no idea where they are and to be honest im not going to take the dash out again to find it seeing as only i drive the car i have them where i want them. DONE 11/04/21....it had no fuse... Refurb the ignition barrel and re install so i can go back to having one key.
