Merv is the star flap master. It gave him greif but it got there in the end. He's got laods more pics than me.

But, here's the end result.

 

Glad you're happy buddy it was a bit of a barsteward to fit due to the last owner drilling more holes than needed in the rear bracket!! Grrr!

 

PS wheels look spot on

 

Do some pics dude!

 

Notice the attention to deatil above, a bin bag to catch the crud. Top man Merv. Ubique!

 

Very nice Ian, the wheels look really good with the red nuts and the roof flap looks cool.

Merv must have nerves of steel.

 

I busied myself elsewhere. Never looked to much

 

Cracking job done there - the car is looking great

 

Here's the offending bracket



Flap attached



Interior trim



Join the dots



Finished

 

Had a lot to drink beforehand

 

Merv you are sooooooo doing mine when I find one at the right price. Just looking at my dremel is making me feel nervous now

 

Looks really nice Ian
Merv may be cutting another roof soon

 

Nice work boys!

 

Cheers guys Red was meant to turn up but I'm sure he was with me in spirit

Just give me a shout Calv I may have to buy my own Dremel

 

Ian the car just gets better mate your doing a great job and well done merv you are the flap king lol

 

wonder if I can get a t shirt made

 

Yes on the front of t shirt it can say ( I can fit ) and on the back ( any flaps ) lol

 

Excellent work lads, as said you must have nerves of steel Merv! Loving the wheels too Ian, she's certainly getting a transformation.

 

Well the drive up to the Welsh warrior was sedate as Ty is still running in the Speccy.

On the way back I decided to have a more spirited drive down the Tredegar Valley, over the top in Blackwood and then down to Ystrad Mynach but the car did not feel "right" .

Twisties, tight bends and roundabout where not as composed as it was. So, back off and get back to the Bat Cave to have a think and tidy up after the flap fitting.

Shining on the floor was a strip of new balance weights, it appears they are off the nearside rear wheel.

Off to the garage Monday for a word in the ear of the young chap who fitted the tyres and balanced them the day before.

 

lets hope its only that what's wrong, as that will be a big WEIGHT off your shoulders

 

Free re-balance and a "very sorry" .

 

All sorted - great Ian

Looking at getting the front bumper and grill resprayed soon by the "Spray Meister" if all goes to plan .

 

glad all is now sorted ian the car looked stunning at the welsh warrior

 

Ian, how do find the pitch mount for transferring transmission noise into the cabin?

I think I'm going to put the standard mount back on.

 

Haven't tried it yet mate. The car is in the Bat Cave and I am waiting to find out if I can take the front bumper and grill off and drop it to Jarv.

 

Car is looking great Ian, Ty they don't transmit to much noise really. You get used to it.
