Remember my rotten door triangles???


First I sandblasted them and then I had them zincplated.


Epoxy primer

Filler




And nice and black again.






Ready to go back on the doors!!!

After a search I found the carpet I needed! What I need is type 1 carpet, but with type 2 seatbrackets. That kind of carpet has only been used between September 1978 and September 1979. This carpet has some issues, like a tear in the middle. I will sort that when the time comes.
