Another rust combat

[proffighter]

Found some time for another drilling session:

Until the thub returns, I use the time to work on everything else:

Door cut-outs are to small and don't look that good:



As I decided to remove stereo I will increase and change layout of the opening. Here is the result of about 20 versions I created and compared:



...And I received my new steering wheel today

Incredible Roland! Keep it going for sure. BTW...nice rabbit! We have a dwarf Netherlands.

Today I received new rear light housings. I decided to buy aftermarket plastic ones, lighter and cheaper then stock. My old ones had almost no more shiny chrome inside. I spray-painted them a few years ago with chrome effect, but it did not last long and was not really shiny either...

Bought them here:

Just saw the price increased. I paid 125 GBP each, now they are 135 GBP

PS: Weight is on the kitchenscale about 300g each without lens like on pic

Fanatical! I like it!

[proffighter]

Made some molding tools to cut the foam panel with my homemade cutter



It's a simple construction with a hot wire (made for this application) using a power supply (not on pic). Costs about 100 USD all in all



And that the result, a nice moulding that is pretty precise to use for laminating

[proffighter]

once more...

[proffighter]

Oops forgot the pics

[IMR-Merlin]

Man, you are amazing with your patience for drilling.

I think you need a therapist - like now!

BTW: that steering wheel looks like a Mod 7 but in leather rather than swede/alcantra . . .

Well it looks like I found my therapy

Correct, Mod07 in leather

[proffighter]

Door panels laminated and removed from moulding. Unfortunatly I had issue with parting agent, was too old...





But not a big thing. Only a bit more working on the surface before painting

[proffighter]

edges cut and a short fitting test

[proffighter]

Today it was picked up for blasting, body work and painting. Will post some pics of progress from time to time
