WELL.........
The car needs to be back on the road for my birthday (end of June).
I've been plodding along with the car over the last couple of months but mostly procrastinating
The bigger work to be finished includes heater matrix and dash wiring.
I finally finished a false boot floor, made from plywood (strengthened across the centre and batons of various lengths around the edge to level it out - the G2 boot floors are not level, theres a bulge on the O/S). Its been carpeted with some nice black foam backed stuff, which i found in the garage.
Its nice and light, but strong, and should help reduce the noise in the cabin especially if i whack some dynamat on the underside (which I have a spare half roll of), although it wont be quite so light then
The rectangular cut-out fits around the battery, and the front edge which fits against the rear seat is deliberately not tapered back around the arches as then I can remove the floor easily when necessary.
The inner arch carpets need a hoover but you get the idea. I'm on the lookout for a cheap black battery cover/lid, just to tidy that up. I could also do with hiding the main +ve cable too
I though it was a good idea to create a timetable, otherwise I'd not bother doing anything
