sig Posted September 15, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2014 yep that is definately the problem, there is even extra weight in the headliner corners were there is obviously an old nest or something !! meanwhile sealing the outside..at least the roof as condensation in the mornings settles on there at this time of year so a coat or 2 of clear for good measure can anyone confirm the original ral colour for this year??..I think its approx moss green 6005 RAL cheers sig Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sig Posted September 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2014 bit of patching, bit of shading and plenty of rubbing and the original paint starts to pop 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
austinsailor Posted September 19, 2014 Report Share Posted September 19, 2014 I'm absolutely impressed with your floorboards. I would never have expected them to be free of holes, much less rust. I'm also shocked how well your paint is cleaning up. Interesting - please keep posting as you progress. Gene 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobT-47P15 Posted September 26, 2014 Report Share Posted September 26, 2014 Looking better all the time Sig. Glad it was in decent condition. Is the rear wheel rusted to the brake drum........or is it the brake drum that won't come off? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sig Posted September 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2014 thanks guys..appreciate it. Bob, it s the drum rusted to the pads or something similar, I´ve tried tapping all around the drum and the typical black dust of a rotten pad falls out...it´ll come loose, its just a question of when and how...I can´t push it on my own !! in the mean time i´ve been playing with the idea of rear skirts...I like the idea of the car "hovering " at the back and it makes the (already massive) car look even longer.....like caddy long !
