Umbria was a very nice place and very quiet, you should go there once at the Lago Trasimeno.
No I just trained and runned 2 full marathons, so I have to rest now! :lol:
I can get back to work now on my oval looking vert!:lol:
I've polished the aluminium trim for the windschield an put a new rubber on it.
The trim is still in rough aluminium and not anodisised.
First put the trim in the rubber before you mounted the windshield in the car!
I bought the rubber from West coast metric (available at BBT) and fits perfect.
Strange markings on the aluminium trim, 4W what does it mean?  Afbeelding 775.jpg You have insufficient rights to see the content.  Afbeelding 777.jpg You have insufficient rights to see the content.

I had to put out the metal frame of the bonnet hood sign becouse some pins cracked off.
The car still hves a 3-tab hood.
I've polished the sign.
Does the sign need to be painted in body colour?  Afbeelding 858.jpg You have insufficient rights to see the content.  Afbeelding 859.jpg You have insufficient rights to see the content.

Right door is mounted, not that simple with all the new rubbers who were not 100% the same.....
The only set availeble is the set who is the same from 1952-1964???? 😞
But it is still better then nothing.
I will keep my original rubbers till someone is interested in making correct ones.
Only the stainless steel trims are very good becouse they don't bend that easy if you fit them!:d  Afbeelding 862.jpg You have insufficient rights to see the content.  Afbeelding 863.jpg You have insufficient rights to see the content.

No I'm not using the early style of fender beading becouse it takes water and she hates that!:d  Afbeelding 864.jpg You have insufficient rights to see the content.

Bought the rubber from Carool Coenen for the semaphore boxes.
Rubber has the same shape but needed to be cut and make one part of it, a hell of a job.:beer:
I've puted some glue in the corners who is made for new cars.
If you buy from him ask him to make it long enough, if you cut into the wrong direction ther won't be much over of it.
I had just enough.:beer:
Yeah he's Dutch. :lol:  Afbeelding 870.jpg You have insufficient rights to see the content.  Afbeelding 871.jpg You have insufficient rights to see the content.
