I'm the same, bonnets barely on the roadster anymore. Rain is only an issue if you leave it parked in the rain for 4 hours striaght! Seems water gets in everywhere As for chamoising the motor, it dries once warmed up a bit

Flutes done at Romanos Rod Shop here in Adelaide. He's a cool guy with some real nice cars. Think he's the last local person that does it, it's a bit of a dying/ lost art I reckon. It feels real 60's which is exactly what I want
louvers never had any dramas with water getting in on the orange van, woulda been worth it though cause they look so good
we drove our A roadster pickup with no bonnet engine completely out in the open in P!SSING DOWN rain for over an hour and then another hour and a half of mild weather with absolutely no dramas except the stereo got soaked and died and we got soaked but didn't die
'The best engine in the world is a vagina. It can be started with only one finger. It is self-lubricating. It takes any size piston. And it changes it's own oil every four weeks. It is a pity that the management system is so f*$king temperamental.'
