There has been a dramatic improvement to the car today as I’ve managed to get three of the four original Marcos wheel that I’ve had powdered coated fitted to the car. This has improved the looks as the offset of these wheels is slightly different to the alloy wheels I had fitted. The only reason I’ve managed to get three of the wheels fitted is that the steel inserts are missing from one of my wheels. I’ve already arranged to get some made at a local machine shop and with a bit of luck they will be ready when I return from work in a few weeks time.

Spent the morning refitting the petrol tank and tidying up the wiring in the boot of the car. Hopefully the petrol tank will be staying in for good now. I also took the last of my carpets to be bound.

On returning I’ve made a start on the interior of the car again. The main task for the day was fitting the sill carpets that I had bound so I could then work on cutting the remaining carpets to size. This has took muck longer than I expected, but I am now happy with the fit of the carpets.

Didn’t get much time to work on the car today before having to return to work but I did manage to refit the boot lid, fit the aerial and the reversing lights. I also managed to take a couple of carpets to be bound. The photo below shows the rear of the car.

Today was a relatively slow day and not much was achieved. The newly painted sunroof parts were reassembled and fitted so you can now open and close the sunroof properly. Now all I need is a new liner made for the inside of the sunroof. The only other task completed was the inside of the boot was painted black again to cover the yellow over spray. Once this was completed the fumes were giving me a head ache so I decided to give up early.
