beautiful work man  Grin . . . i'd like to know more about your roof lining please...are there more pictures of how you finished it off?

Hi thanks man!

I first made a template out of paper, used magnets to stick it to the roof and draw a line around.


I cut out following the line and then transfered it to a thin foam rubber.
I then glued the foam to the fabric I bought.


Next, glue the roof to the car. I used spray contact glue on the fabric and foam and brushed contact glue to the roof of the car. With some help from a friend I mamaged to get it in place! Made it about a inch to big so I could stick in the edge under the edge on the car.


Nice to finaly get rid of the spaceship roof Smiley

I "needed" a way to keep the engine lid open, and the one to buy was to expensive here in Sweden, about 60$.

So I bought 1m stainless steel rod for 10$ and after making a templet i started bending it.


Fitted some protectiv textile tape


Done!


But now the enginebay needed some attention, to be continued...

Time to make some changes in the engine  bay. I have had a par of Italian Weber 40 IDF laying for some years and now it was time to change out the China IDF on the car.


What a mess!



After a a thorough cleaning they turned ut nice

The rattle can painted engine tin was not a pretty sight. Fixed some holes and dents


I painted it one of the colors I had in mind before I went with the Porsche Linen Grey on the Car.
It's Porsche 6808 Burgundy Red


It matched the color on the interior quite good  Wink


Gave the lid for the breather box a touch up


Turned out quite nice (I have now changed the bolts to allen bolts and nice aluminium washers)

Very rarely am I a fan of any color for tin other than black but the deep red to match the interior of a white car is a fantastic combo, that looks amazing!

My car is what it is, maybe not Cal Look per the books, but it's more than most.
