63 Ragtop Dad and Lad project.

The updates are a small at the moment as i work through the following areas of the project

1) Re-paint the fire wall body colour. I need to re-strip and prep the metal correctly so we can get a decent finish
2) The fuel tank has been powder coated, i now need to seal the inside with Frost tank sealant
3) I've removed the main wiring loom to send to VW Looms to get a new one made up. Need to also strip the front right and left looks out. This should be a this weekend job (3/07/2024)
4) New interior panels have been ordered from Dorothe Patriache, can't wait to see them and due to pick them up at the end of August when on the family holiday.
5) Mr Cross AKA Dennis Kruis is making up the vents for the decklid again pick up during the family holiday.
6) Richie Webb has sent through the engine parts list, and the order for the heads has gone in today (30/07/2024)

So you ask apart from project managing and simple jobs 3 or 4 times what have you done?

Well the glove box has been stripped and is now in primer, done by my able assistant

Some filling and rubbing to do and hopefully in white over the weekend and re-fitted.

The little adaptor plate we made for the rear view mirror came through, many thanks to KevD for the original rear view mirror, greatly appreciated. Now fitted but don't like the repo sun visor that keeps falling down so on the look out for an OG item. The original plan was to fit a carbon sheet in place of the original plastic, will see what happens with that.

Finally, i had another look underneath and spotted the gearbox was solid mounted. Will look to replace those mounts with CB Rhino mounts.
