1999 Cabriolet Cleanup!

[pugolliek]

Many congratulations Oli. It'll be understandable if the car takes a back seat for a while. You're going to be kept very busy!

Many thanks James, he's doing me great favours by sleeping great during the day and evening, giving me loads of time to tinker away! Night time? That's another story [emoji23]

So collected the donor cab last Thursday, got it home left it there until this evening. Gave the bodywork a good scrub and assessed the situation:

Bonnet- far better than mine- swapped

Headlights- crystal, better than mine (discoloured and lined)- swapped

Grille and hockey sticks- in one piece so better than mine- swapped but need to source a set of the clips for under the wings

Next to swap:

Wings- in much better nick than mine, which are scratched and dented, and one has had a poor paint job at some stage

Rear drivers light cluster- mine is letting in water from a massive crack that magically appeared and was pointed out by my four year old, who however knew nothing of it's origin!

Aerial- missing on mine. The donor has a non-retractable one, was hoping to pick up a retractable one but with the money they're going for on eBay any aerial is better than no aerial!

The seller claimed the electric roof was all working 100% so will need to get a decent battery onto it to see, and swap over whatever bits I need.

Attached are a few pics of getting it home, and swapping over the parts.
