Had the day off work today having worked a load of weekends recently so tackled a few little 'outstanding jobs'
First up was the little fuel leak. Nothing to see here other than a new filter screen and sealing washer )in the correct place this time) which fixed it straight away.
Obviously I had to road test it.... :D
After dinner, I couldn't resist a bit more time in the garage so decided to investigate the last undiscovered part of the car - inside the doors.
The reason I chose to do this was due to endless complaints and reminders from my wingman, Smull who during our drive to Stanford Hall complained bitterly and endlessly about the passenger door window winder mechanism which to be fair, due to lack of use was one step away from failure.
So.... off with the door card and into a world of beautiful undisturbed originality!
First up - check out the original wax paper lining!
Now check out the factory '57 chalk marking and small 'anti rattle' squares of the original carpet on the door!
The next discovery was the best of all.... the original red vinyl sample square, tucked in the bottom of the door!
I took the opportunity to clean out the bottom of the doors and inspect what was what - you know, just in case...
Absolutely un-bloody-believable!
So cracked open yet another can of wax sealant spray and flooded the bottoms of the doors.
This little car never ceases to thrill...
