I think I was in a competition with someone else here, we were both approaching 40 items. And that's on top of all the "standard" stuff MJ does.....

Not all will get done, some of it was more of a wish list....
And some, like this, are "planned future developments".

Another good day today thanks to Mike coming over to help

Got the fan finished off



Some trauma had happened with the centre scuttle trim bolt so I put a new rivnut in there



Botang's hole



MJ's grommet



Bedded down on seam sealer



and then covered completely



I completely forgot to get any pics of detailing the engine bay and fixing broken studs, and then we put the engine back in



Nice and clean and treated with sealant







Most of the top end back together

Coming along nicely. I particularly like MJ's grommet for Botang's hole!

Pretty sure that was the windscreen fitters who replaced it before my ownership; they had no idea how to refit the scuttle cover and just drilled it out and bodged it.
Wrecked the scuttle cover as well with what they did.

This time the windscreen will be replaced under MJs eagle eyes and they won't touch any of the trim!
