Well I have finished all my customers work and now its Cobra time.
Plan is to have the car on the road by 1st or 2nd of July and their is a fair bit to do.
Saturday afternoon
Start at the rear and work forward. I started with the fuel tank by hitting it with some rust converter just to etch where the unprotected surfaces were and left it outside for a pressure clean, while im waiting for the aicd to do its stuff Ill fit the numberplate bracket and the new boot handle, bracket was easy except for the neighbour who has a suburu rally car that isnt running very well so bit of a discussion and I tell him to go put a condensor on it and all will be fine. Back to the bott handle rip out the old one in with the new EASY not. The new handle bolt spacing is about 2mm wider and the old one was screwed in with rivnuts. After a search for a bit of scrap alloy and some more consulting with the neighbour about jetting his car its onto the mill to make a horseshoe bracket that the handle can be bolted to. After about an hour with more interuptions the boot handle is fitted but still doesnt latch properly, job for Monday. Mate rings to see where Im at cause hes at my place waiting for me as we have a bucks party to go to so thats it for today.
Monday heres the plan
Remove the drivers seat and get the two seats reupholstered.
Finish cleaning the tank and a quick coat of paint.
Change the new filler neck hoses for the right size and get a chunk of alloy for the cap adapter.
Jack up the car and sort out the handbrake and fit the tank if all is ok.
Lets see if it all goes to plan
