2009 Ahead

No progress to report, but this is because it’s been sub zero outside since the middle of December and even wearing thermals, old snowboarding kit and lying on a futon mattress it’s too cold to be working under the car, so things haven’t progressed as planned on the bodywork.

I still have several little jobs to complete that have come to light over the last few weeks:

• Replace windscreen washer jets. Current units aren’t working, so I’m ust waiting for some misting jets off a Citroen Xsara to arrive.
• Renew dash lighting. Some of the bulbs in the dash have stopped working so I’m going to replace them with some white LEDs.
• Renew decals. The rear and front decals aren’t original parts – seemed to be cheap copies, so I’ve acquired a set of the genuine graphics from 106Parts.
• Replace steering wheel. Some gift vouchers have my name on them so I’ll be getting a new wheel and adapter from DT.
• Install carbon door cards. These arrived before Christmas in exchange for the silicon pipes that I returned. I’m going to use a threaded nut rivet kit to install them.

Also off to look at a set of wheels I’ve wanted for the last 5 years at the weekend, so although not much progress is being achieved, there’s plenty of things happening…
