Double Clean

E-Type's turn first thing for a wash and brush up.

I gave it for full works as well as a thick layer of polish.

So much so when I had put it away in the garage I could smell the polish. I did the roof three times as it is not as good as the bonnet - mind you it's not been re-sprayed three times. Overall it came up well.

After that we swapped it for the Alpine.

Which looked quite good before I had washed it. I did the wheels and blacked the tyres but not sure it added much. After a good wash I tinkered again for a few hours while I waited for the flasher unit to arrive. I added a thicker rubber under one side of the boot hinge and completed the poppers for the boot divider. I then thought I'd tackle the window felts.

The first one took about an hour - complete with dropping three clips into the void and taking the panel off yet again. By opening the clips a bit I managed to get them to fit eventually.

The second one only took ten minutes as I opened each clip before I started.

I also looked at how to fit the outer rubber but that defeated me. As I finished the part turned up. It did not work - in fact it rattled when I took it out of the box. Bugger. But at least I did a job I was not expecting to be so 'easy'.
