Project "Racelook"

[Racelook]

SO tonight I've worked an hour or 5 at my car. Checked several weldings for not being good, welded them and grinded them.

Here are some pics of it.




And also some pics of the new piece I welded in last sunday at the trunk.




That spot off course has to be welded at the other side (that's on the planning for next time).

That's it...

The bonnet and rear deck seal retaining strips are two things I will have to work with on my 1303 as well. Both were eaten away by rust. I haven't decided on a clear solution there yet, as I haven't found any replacements... I gotta have them, though, so I can make this an all-weather car.

I really like the rally handbrake. I have a friend that calls that his "get out of jail free handle" in his WRX!

Very well done Wiebrand! :agree: Keep at it!

The guy I work for has got them before. If you can't find them, maybe I can help. Just tryin' to hook a brotha up.

In the UK it is common to cut these strips off and use a clip on seal on the bonnet, eliminates the rust trap...

The only strip that has to be welded back is the one on the front of the front windscreen. (Or has anybody have an solution for this?)

For the rest you use "Mexico-style" seals
