Ivan's coupe: bodywork is done

[Ivan141]

Keeping busy in the shed with the small stuff in anticipation of another big push in the month to come. Just crossing of whatever I can on my todo list.

Drill some drainage holes in the repaired door bottom (still need to do the other door):


Destroyed some weird spacer pads on the hood hinges while wirewheeling them clean. One of those little things that end up taking more effort to put right than you would hope.
Cut some new ones out of a cork/neoprene gasket sheet I bought specifically for this.


Spotted these side insulation inserts for the kick panels, they were the only things I had left of the original insulation padding. Had some of the new material left, so in for a penny, in for a pound:


Comparison new/old for shits and giggles. The new one has a layer of acoustic foam glued to it. Thickness is about 2 to 2,5 times OEM.


Did the same acoustic foam layer for the firewall padding:


The other little project I've been working on is staying a surprise for a while until the car starts getting put together.
