My firewall sound deadener arrive today, can't wait to install it.
Cost $170 from John Warren Victoria we found it in the FE FC Forum
His mobile is 0411 316 137 email john@classicgloveboxes.com

Image

Thought I'd put the floor mats in to settle them
so out in the sun to warm them up, they need a trim but I'm not complaining.

Image

Image

Boot came up a treat.

Image

Installed the rubber flappy things under the bonnet to keep the dust out
And yes I know there EK but didn't have an option, I may change them later.
Made them myself from a template I brought off ebay and the rubber from good old Clark Rubber.

Image

You might find this interesting, I spent a good part of a week cleaning and polishing the decoration that goes
on the sill covers, that was a shit of a job put as there's no repo avaiable it had to be done (Les at Rarespares note!)
I used a hobby knife to scrape out 50 years of dirt and grine and polished with Purple Stuff.
They look great.
