MkIV Spitty: Headlining
http://mkivspitty.blogspot.com/2011/10/headlining.html
Saturday, October 1, 2011. Been poorly this week, so nothing at all done until this afternoon. Despite still feeling unwell, I just had to make some progress. Being a tight arse, I again opted for the cheapo option of making my own. Cost of pre-made - £70. Cost of self made - £30 plus the fun of actually doing it. The first task was to unpick the old one into its seperates. I then drew around these on the new cloth then cut them all out. Here is the action shot . Then added the side rubbers.

Rust and music: I'm Broken
http://rustandmusic.blogspot.com/2009/04/im-broken.html
Thursday, April 9, 2009. OK, it's a Pantera song, not a disco ditty from the 70's but you get the idea. Last Sunday, the neighbours dog escaped while they were out. While attempting to stop it running madly onto the road, I lost my balance. The result is three broken metatarsus in my left foot. Obviously, seen as how I'm handicapped for the next few weeks, I recieved a parcel for the car :). So I've done what I can with one foot and debatable balance. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

MkIV Spitty: September 2011
http://mkivspitty.blogspot.com/2011_09_01_archive.html
Saturday, September 24, 2011. Today I finished the paint on the Hardtop. Here are some shots of me in action and the hardtop right after spraying. I need to buff this once its hardened then I can fit the headling and refit the glass and rubbers. I am quite please with how this is looking so far. Not perfect by any means but still looking nice,. Thursday, September 22, 2011. I've been a tad lazy this week. Laziness is a strong point for me lol, I struggled to find any motivation all week until this evening.

Thursday, May 26, 2011. Horn working from steering wheel. Previous owne had fitted a mom wheel and relocated the horn to a dash switch, I just could not get used to having the horn there so fabricated a contact in the steering wheel so now have a working horn where its meant to be. :). On thursday I lost my indicators, and gauges which turned out to be just a poor earth, after cleaning everything worked again with the added bonus so did the horn. Car still stinks of petrol despite now being leaned of...

MkIV Spitty: October 2011
http://mkivspitty.blogspot.com/2011_10_01_archive.html
Monday, October 3, 2011. Hardtop Finished and fitted. Today I did the last bits of trimming gluing the last few pieces of vinyl down. Then I rivited on the quaterlights and fitted the rubber seals. Next it was time to fit the reas screen, after a few starter attempts I eventually figured out the best way using some cord to ease the rubber over the lip. Now it is ready to have its plastic chrome finisher fitted. I warmed it up in hot water to make it more pliable. Saturday, October 1, 2011.

MkIV Spitty: July 2011
http://mkivspitty.blogspot.com/2011_07_01_archive.html
Sunday, July 31, 2011. After a slow start this weekend due to way to much beer I started on the remainder of the car, I washed the bonnet, doors and sills then used my keyer pad followed by some 600 grit then another wash and masked up. Doing the front was quite straigh forward, I decided to do the bonnet in 3 sections so did the sides with the doors and sills as there was a natural swage line the I could mask to. And here she is after I removed the masking and sheeting. Thursday, July 21, 2011. Re-seali...
