A lot has been happening, but mainly small things. It is the finishing stretch of the projects , and it is all the small details that are being completed. The main work has been the complete rebuild of the doors. They are just superb. All of the mechanisms are completely serviced. Complete new glass channeling, and glass wiper seals installed. Outer door seals attached, that work fantastically
with the blister seal on the body pinchweld. Now doors are double sealed so no whistling on the freeways, and no rattling glass in the windows. (Thanks to test install on Graeme's R8 Gordini, works very well.)
With the door was the fitting of the new mirrors, They are just fantastic size and square lens.

I look forward to seeing them, that's for sure. I have "blister seal" on one recalcitrant door (poor fit....) and it sure works. Nice work.
Looking good !!!

You should slip over to WA sometime and see us in the flesh!We all love seeing hard work translated into things, thanks for sharing this, looking forward to you buzzing up the street in front of your workshop
Today was finish off battery cover and get all the battery parts sorted, so it has an isolator and is clamped down properly. Have been sealing both screens as these bodies are not quite to size. Rear screen in particular is about 4 mm too big for the body. Now it is sealed it won't leak into the car again. And started fitting "bling" trim to seal as well.
All the small details.

All the small details.

I've seen this R10 in the "flesh". Nice work and detail Ray!!! And I know there's more surprises to come with this car!! Vrooom...
I see an Alconi badge on there. Nice touch Ray.
Busta.... I have all the bits to build a proper R10/1300 Alconi, twin choke Weber, exhaust, the lot. Which I have carried for years. So the time is right. I have also stared on my Big 4 speed as well. So it will be a good cruise car as well.

Barry was showing his personal rocker cover for the Alpine, Here is mine....

Ray, for a "non-mechanic" guy, what is "blister seal" and what is "pinch weld". I assume pinch weld is where the channeling on the door opening goes??
Thanks, Frans.

Looks good Ray, I now have a need to find an alloy rocker cover for mine.
