Thanks for getting back to me. The photo is no longer needed I ended up making up a plate to do the job. Shame you have to put the coupe on hold work always gets in the road of play. It will be great to see it finished when ever that be. Anthony |

I got these back a while ago, just never got round to posting up pics
As most would know, the original heater cores are not available any more (for cars with AC that is) and getting the ones that I had reconditioned just was not happening. So, as I made mention of before, I had 2 new ones made up plus I got another 2 cores made as well. I think they turned out very well indeed The spare core |

So, another wait began. It then got to "they'll be here in a 2 months". This went on for about 6 months. Then, the period got down to "they'll be here in 2 weeks". This then went on for another 6 months and then, once again, all quiet. However, with constant pushing by Tony and George at Superoo, the door trims were promised by Christmas. They did arrive by Christmas time, it's just that Superoo closed its doors on Thursday. Today though, I went and picked them up so all is good now. Quote:

This is another job I got finished a few months ago, the floor pan! Lots of scraping and cleaning followed by a very dirty and smelly paint job.
Before And after The plan now for next week will be to; 1) get the underlay & carpet in 2) get the hood lining in (all of which are ready to go) 3) get the rear window in along with the seal & window moulds 4) get the rear parcel shelf in along with the two rear door cards 5) and then the rear seat can go in I will be leaving the front seats and console out until I have all of the dash in So, all is happy and good in Cobra 140 land tonight. |

Yes I'm talking about the base of the seat, there is one seam with a listing that pull the trim down. Yours have an extra join/seam.
Check out my pics on http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fb...32235176789958 Quote:

The plan was to have more achieved today but as usual, things don't always got plan
Carpet A before shot of the turret And after the new hood lining went in Couple of pics of the parcel shelf (not properly fitted as yet) I had wanted to get the rear screen in along with the pinch weld as well as the rear seat and rear door cards but as mentioned above, things weren't going too well so the latter few jobs will have to be put off til later??? However, I will endeavour to get the front and rear screens in as well as the pinchweld in as soon as possible so as to keep the hood lining in place. One last small job: all of the hydraulic lines are now back, some new and some painted. |

Hi Paul,
I just found your thread out of the blue. Mate what a read. I have spent the last hour reading it. lots of great feedback on your project and I concur. I bought my 12 year old son his first car (the XC in my Avatar) and we have begun the restoration process. Not to the extent you are undertaking but what a mission hey!!!! Just wanted to say congrats its a fantastic car and I look forward to seeing it on the road and at many Ford shows around Perth. I will be reading your thread with great interest as it comes to a conclusion over the coming year. Adam.

My seats only have the single stitch (no.073) and I bought the old trim out of number 270 odd and it only has the single stitch seam aswell?
Looks like she is coming along well there Paul! Mine is still at a stand still! |

just a small update.
The front screen went in today and the rear screen went in and then came out again. We had problems getting the moulds to stay in the rubber seal (seal is too big) so we thought we would try and get the screen in and then try and fit the moulds - ahhhh NO! So out it came and we had another go at getting the moulds in. They are mostly in but still need a bit more work to get them sitting right in the rubber seal. As mentioned above, the front screen went in no problems at all. Here are few pics And now the rear screen Fits perfectly, went in real easy bit now we must battle with the moulds And now out again with the moulds fitted to the rubber/screen And lastly, the pinch welds are in too |

And to finish the night off on a very good note, a good luck story:
Every once in a while you get an offer of assistance and in this case, the work done by a fellow forum member (Cobreta) is simply outstanding!!! If you have a look at this thread XC Falcon Hardtop rear quarter markers you will see that initially I was unsure as to what the correct lenses were to be fitted and if they were available. However, in time, along came a reasonable second hand set but I was still not real happy with them. So, I took Cobreta up on his offer and this is how it turned out New ones And a few pics of the old (original) and the new In effect, NOS front markers were uses and mint condition ZH Fairlane lenses (red section) were moulded together: very happy indeed!!!!!!!! |
