Use the bonnet seal that attaches to the bonnet not the slam panel.
The original metal strip for retaining the seal is a pita rust trap. |
Does that bonnet seal go around the top too? I ordered one for my 69 and it was too short to go all the way around the hood.
-Dave |
no - i removed the old strip along the front scuttle - repaired the rust and then replaced the strip along the top - i had to buy the mexi seal (clip on one) and the standard one so i could trim it and use it along the top

Thanks Mate!

Well i haven't made a whole load of progress over the last 6 months - but hte progress i have made has been pretty cool imo :) I've put my 996 seats in and fitted up black sun visors and rear view mirror which isnt exactly exciting but the front suspension has come on abit . The beam was narrowed 80mm back at the begining of the year but i wasn’t happy with the shock towers. I decided to design my own link pin style ones and have them made out of 8mm thick steel. The beam is now finished and together along with the refurbed brakes http://classiccarrevivals.files.word...pg?w=225&h=300 http://classiccarrevivals.files.word...pg?w=300&h=225 http://classiccarrevivals.files.word...pg?w=225&h=300 http://classiccarrevivals.files.word...pg?w=300&h=225 http://classiccarrevivals.files.word...pg?w=300&h=225 http://classiccarrevivals.files.word...pg?w=300&h=225 http://classiccarrevivals.files.word...pg?w=300&h=225 http://classiccarrevivals.files.word...pg?w=300&h=225 http://classiccarrevivals.files.word...pg?w=300&h=225 Gearbox, steering box and track rods need painting - wheels are going to be refurbed just leaving the interior.
