Finally finished the gruelling underside today. Had the full offside to do, so dropped the exhaust for access. The exhaust needed a bit of work to restore shinyness, and three previously used U bolts from the Roadster. So another full day underneath, and my garage clothes have taken a hammering. The exhaust is now back on, and the underside is cleaned and tectyled. The front offside wheel was hard work. The paint had dulled as if cleaning fluid had reacted with the paint, but in the end,thinners lifted the dullness. Quite a relief. So now I can move on to polishing, and maybe the rear mudflaps before Shelsley. I've also found man who can edge my home made "Tonneau". Pictures to follow when I get time. Full of wine right now. wine

So, the task continues.............

The exhaust was in a bit of a state, but had to come off to access the running board underside.


Here it is after a general refurb. The replacement clamps came off the Roadster a while ago. Stainless does polish up with a bit of effort.


Tailpipe:
Note the rear valance is quite rough cut around the mounting.


All refreshed. Note my signature neoprene protector for the end of the running board.
No need to disturb the existing bolts. There is enough thread protruding to take a couple of nuts and washers.


Front mounting:


Front offside wheel:


And again after some elbow grease:
Tyre not treated at this stage.


Underside now reasonable!




More to follow..........

Here's a reminder of my A post mod. Here you can see the factory neoprene stuck to the A post:


Here I've added a rear facing piece:
It just overlaps the edge and the idea is that it should deflect water away from the sidescreens.


And from the front:


4/4's only get one horn, so I sourced a couple from e-bay.


Mr Bumble has a vinyl hood and sidescreens, including the insides. I just had enough mohair to be able to line the insides. The key is to cut accurately, and use aerosol adhesive.

It began like this:


And here it is - completed:


I tried to make some seals as I did on the Roadster, but that method didn't work this time, so for now some simple neoprene seals. I'll have another go when I have more time.


The sidescreen fixings can be tweaked - here as standard:


And now with a painted and lacquered drawing pin, pin shortened and fixed with double sided tape.


I've struggled with the cowl, as it won't sit square. But after some serious modding, I've squared it up and stuck some leather over the top half. The lower half will take much more fiddling so must wait:


Back underneath for the final shot today. The steering column u/j is exposed and can be better protected with a neoprene seal - at the front of "the box"...........
Thats all for now.
