Is that the passenger rear side, or are thinking of fabricating a swivel for the passenger bucket

 

I sincerely hope the Rickstar didnt get his hands on your Dremel

cant wait to here how it went mate

 

I hid the dremel before he got here. All in, some pics to follow and more tomorrow when it's daylight. No drama's just took my time (for a change) and followed Frayz guide - big up to Frayz for all his hard work in producing it

Also managed to fix Ricky's stereo in between bolting up bits of roof flap

 

Glad it went ok Jon, look forward to the pics.

 

Well done fella

Cant wait to see it

 

So to start, cars a mess but hey-ho...



Stripped out the head-lining, removed the map light bracket...



And cleaned some of the bits that came out



In the margins I primed and painted the inside of the flap...




Then time to start in ernest...


measuring



first trial fit

No-one forecast rain





Then, there's a hole in my roof...





It's too dark for any more pics, but it is all in and fitted and I'll get some pics of the finished job tomorrow, other than to say I am very happy with the finish

 

Great fit & finish, almost looks like it rolled out of the factory with it! Dont know if you were just lucky John or that your not too bad at all this mechanical stuff!!

 

Top Stuff buddy

 

Looks great mate

 

Won't be long before you 2 join the flap club

Always willing to help, and I have some really good cutting discs for my 'dremel' tool - diamond cutters and didn't even get through one

 

Love it Jon, Ballsy stuff there cutting your roof up!

 

Will have to sort out some group photos when they are all done

 

As long as wait until I've had it painted

 

Yesh of course, it will take that long to get decent weather mate

 

Looking forward to seeing the finished result Jon!

I think the worst bit was drilling the 1st hole when I fitted mine, after that theres no going back!

Ricey

 

Whilst my hands are defrosting, here's some better pics of the roof flap in daylight

Sweet Jon, but you havent matched the blues very well.

 

Looks even better in the day light Jon. Can't wait to get mine done next week

 

looks the nuts mate..... gotta plan a date to get mine done too

 

We'll need to plan a full day as is suspect there'll be a few subtle differences between the classic and newage in terms of pulling the car apart, but the meat of the work should be the same

Plus, if I win the lottery and get my respray done sooner rather than later you can be detailing my car while I chop yours to bits

 

looking really good jon hope to see it soon

 

Just taxed it too, MOT time next

 

Big thanks to Keith @ Revolution for the first bargain of 2011, the old pedals from their STI hatch demo car

 

Finished 2 days of smoothing today - fingers are red raw, pics to follow.

Big up to Stu (scoobystu5779) who came and did some welding for me. He TIG'd the flange back on my Blitz centre so I'll refit that soon and did some other bits despite having some reservations about the thickness of subaru panels. The jobs were spot on with me knowing the risks and I just need to fill and smooth these in





Apologies for the poor pics

 

nice touches

 

im liking that jon

 

another productive day I see.....nice

 

I looked at removing the aerial from the a-pillar too, but the threads sit proud and there's no lip to weld a plate on to so it became too complex

 

Smooooth

 

It will be

Off to refit the blitz centre now
