Quote from: s12vea on October 14, 2019, 18:14I replaced the bolts not long before Greg bought the car so hopefully they did.
Hope the paint is heat resistant as that heat shield gets very hot!

Did you remove when hot or cold?

Cold

Removed when hot

Had a couple of spare minutes today so bolted the heat shield back on.

Looks good, if the paint holds up!!!

Looks nice, especially with your new flashy engine cover!

Just time for another quick job, so rear brace refitted. Starting to come together now.   

Well done Greg, looks good.

Very tidy

Managed to get the front strut brace on today. Needed a little more frunk plastic trimming but looks good. Just need to fit the rubber trim I have bought to finish off the plastic where it has been cut.

Fitted the trim to the frunk lid where it has been cut. Leaves the area around the strut tops to do.

Does it make it look finished off?

Greg

It finishes the edges off better yes.

Gorgeous afternoon over here on the east coast. Should I finish edging the frunk plastic?

Better to go for a nice top down "spin" well not literally.

Met up with an old friend, ex merseyside copper with loads of stories to tell but the big smile was from driving the GG.

Decided to get the frunk and strut job finished this morning. Took the brace off again to trim the frunk a bit more. Added the rubber trim around the cut edges, glued for good measure.

Also added a complete set of new plastic "push fit" clips to the frunk as well.

Pics below.

Hopefully a run out this afternoon and if it stays dry will use her for our trip to the cinema tonight.

We get to most films, except real horror stuff so it looks like the new Terminator tonight.

It's all in the little details

Top job

Very neat - I like it. Hope you both enjoyed the film.

At last a dry day. The problem with living in a rural farming area is the mud and s**t on the roads at this time of year. Of course there are benefits too.

Nice drive out this afternoon to blow out the cobwebs, me and the GG, stopped a few miles from home, in the middle of nowhere and took a few pics, only the camera phone but have posted two below.

Well played

Looking good, we all need to make the most of days like today.

The trimming around the strut brace is a brilliant job, almost looks oem!

Thank you kind sir!!! I just followed the great advice given on the forum then added some piping. 

At last a dry day...

Prepping the Goddess for a run out tonight. Off to Olney near Milton Keynes for a Music & Friends session (lots of Soul and R&B). 65 miles towards Wellingborough and then down the 509. Journey back will be after midnight so time for fun.

Great trip there and most of the way back, heater is super toastie. Got to my side of Peterborough at around 01:45 when the heavens opened.

Full clean needed after that but it is November

Nice ride out this morning and hoping the weather stays fine for the Cinema trip tonight.

The GG is due an MOT in Feb, which for a good weather fun machine is not ideal.

Want to move it towards the summer and happened to drive by a garage today whose owner I know from way back.

Stopped to say Hi and mentioned the MOT and last years debacle due to emissions. Car was hot so he offered to check said emissions. No CAT but only slightly over the limit, he stuffed a rag around the probe and the reading dropped to an acceptable level. Don't know why that made a difference but booked in for Friday morning and hopefully a pass.

Greg

The weather stayed good so used the GG for our cinema trip. Nice ride out, see my cinema thread in Chit Chat and Gossip for the film. Nice pub steak on the way home, top job.

Took the GG for an early MOT this morning, then spent the next hour washing and cleaning, bloody weather.

So passed with a clean bill of health and without a CAT!!!

Great news Greg.  Foxy is having hers tomorrow morning and no doubt I'll be washing her afterwards too.  Seems a shame to take her out as she's sparkling clean and dry in my garage tonight!  Oh no, chit chatting AGAIN! Sorry Mods.
