I cleaned and covered the last door that needed Dynamatting on Tuesday evening. The drivers door lock didn’t seem to be working that well, and the rear one was sticking so I took them out and cleaned them up again. The problem with the drivers lock turned out to be a bent lever so a quick straightening and it all worked nicely. I also put the windscreen drains in then called it a night. I took the old side glass to a glaziers round the corner from work as well to get some replacements made. They should be done this week, so I can get a start on glazing it next weekend.<\/p>\n

I got one of the seats down from the attic on Saturday to measure up for the rails. I got the drivers seat down so that I could have a look at the wiring for it at the same time. After a quick check, I wired it to the battery and tested the motors. With that done I measured up where the seat hit the transmission tunnel and hammered it flat there. It’s only about half an inch so it shouldn’t cause any issues with clearance for the gearbox. On Sunday I had a quick cleanout of the car and scrubbed it over with panel wipe to get the worst of it off. I covered from behind the front seats up to the parcel shelf with a box of Dynamat. I think I’ll run out by the time I get to the roof, so I’d better get some more in. <\/p>\n
