7 minute(s) of a 417 minute read

Thanks guys, for the kind words! I really appreciate that.

I have got a new job, so I have not too many hours left to be in the garage nowadays. But I will give you a few pics og the small things I have done since last update.


Figured that I wanted to clean my headlamps in the dishwasher... "that must be a good idea..."






Yeyyy!!







Dirrrty...








Wise-ass-Pedi thought he was smart. 70 degrees celsius and soap was the recipe that day.....







Total failure. The lamps were so clean that the reflectors were washed "away"...






The best of the remains...


Luckily, not everything was a failure.

Sorry, bad pics. Here is the rear bumper:












Time to prep the sunroof before assembly.

Not all parts are similar when going from steel sunroof to one in glass.






The windspoiler must go when glassroof is installed. Damn, I would like to have that piece installed







No damage to the plastic insert!







GlassROOF:











Rusty... Ofcourse...







Needs to be drilled out...







Ready for some lube...:







Needs some refresh:







Got home some used lamps, btw...







Yeah... Myself in action.....









New round with the dishwasher. This time NO soap, and only 50 degrees Celcius....





The 4 lamps were not too good, but I wanted to give them a try...





Better looking...





Reflectors made it this time, but the glasses are worn...



Painted some small parts...







And even more....





2 layers black and 2 layers clear coat.








Some small, but needed parts







Seen this before?







For the rear curtain..



Finally, I got the new cover over the radiator.













Another layer...







This is for glass sunroof










Duhhh... I need to order new shiny screws







Locking the mechanism to get the waiers even...







Motor







New gaskets







Mhmmmm







6 bolts, three on each side














That 's all folks. Not much, but everything needs to be done.

have a nice weekend guys!
