Customers DB4 in for fuel at Platts
Friday 2nd August: Just had this
1959 Aston Martin DB4 in for our Super Unleaded fuel. Original interior and a
Webasto Sunroof fitted by the factory but now with a mohair replacement.
White plastic Washer and Coolant bottles now sanded and coloured black with Rustoleum paint. Looks a lot better sat in the engine bay. #sturgess #mx5blog #sturgessmx5 #tonysmx5blog #mx5engine #mx5 blog, #mx5, #blogger post, #mx5 blogger.
The hood split in multiple places back in the cold weather. I have finally gotten around to remove the hood to repair the rear PVC window. I have obtained a sheet of Vyback clear PVC window from Woolies Trim in Peterborough and I will be cutting that to size to glue onto the existing glued/welded rear window seem. I will be using StormSure glue which is a repair glue for all sorts of flexible material including Car Hoods, tents etc.. When the hood goes back on after a successful repair, hopefully! it will be fitted correctly in between the two sides of the rain channel as it came off having been originally fitted on top of that rain channel. This is a temporary repair as I will obtain a heated glass rear window hood sometime in the future.
Small job today of painting the Exhaust manifold heat shield with heat paint. Now looks much better than it’s standard silver (and rust) that it had before. #sturgess #mx5blog #sturgessmx5 #tonysmx5blog #mx5engine #mx5 blog, #mx5, #blogger post, #mx5 blogger.
