yeah its not too bad, can be a bit frustrating at times.

Improbably going to spray the roof for that very reason lol
 
Got all sorts of stuff starting to collect

1240362_10152257342470730_714705635_n.jpg


New hinge pin kit for the air vent flaps on the front
Rivnut gun
Fibreglass to repair a couple of holes on the passenger door frame
New door hinge kit, no idea why ones a different colour, will be painted anyway
Paint touch up, to find a colour close to the vinyl to paint bits like the hinges. This one is pretty close - BMW Sparkling Graphite
Spat clips for the flexible wheel arches
 
Tonights little task was to remove the air cleaner and hoses, and waterproof it all, as you will see its not exactly waterproof from the factory

Heres all the bits

oh and this, I guess its not very waterproof anymore

First up was to waterproof the join between the plastic housing that sits on the rear of the wing, Sikaflex was used through out all this.

Then attached that piece on

Then sealed the plastic piece that push fits into the back of that

And here

Applied a smear to the crimp join around the end of the can, mine looked fairly tight but just a precaution

Then sealed the snorkel to the wing

Should be fairly water tight :thumbs:

If anyone knows the part number for that split bit of hose that would be amazing or show me where to get one
 
Brilliant thank you, it's always helpful to see how somebody else does it! What sealant did you use.?!
 
Got the rest of these bits wrapped, but first up was to etch primer all my new hinges and bulkhead to windscreen frame brackets

Ordered some Rustoleum enamel type anti rust black paint for these.
