Oops, I was eyeing up the Edelbrock cams and cylinder head kits on www.realsteel.co.uk and fear I may have set a future goal, I like the sound of 420bhp.....
Shame I've got to spend money elsewhere right now

Anyway, whilst I'm waiting to get the truck round to my mates garage to do the welding that's needed, the interior revamp is on hold pretty much. So, one job that needed tackling was the passenger vent & main window seals and anti-rattle strips. Set about doing that tonight.
First off, I needed to remove the door hinge bolt access panel to get to a retaining bolt for the vent window frame, whilst I was digging around inside the door, I found all of this crap. No wonder the door rattled when it was closed, there were bits of old rubber seals that had gone hard, loads of broken glass and a prehistoric pterodactyl/fly.

Most of the old rubber seals were from the likes of this, there's supposed to be a seal inside the top of the door that sits against the window when it's wound up.


Like this... (total PITA to fit too, took ages!)

With the vent window out, I could crack on and get the main window felt channel fitted, again, another pain to fit as the mastic sort of sealant on it means it's too big for the frame so had to squeeze & tuck it all in. Once the glass is in though, it'll be a nice snug fit.


On to the actual vent window rubber seal, as with the drivers door one, it'd gone pretty hard and stubborn. This was it removed, you can see how much I had to mangle it to get it out.

And with the new seals ready to go in.

Only thing with the vertical seal that sits against the glass is I had to glue it in like I had to with the drivers side, luckily I have some ridiculously strong glue that does the job perfectly. (That's it cable tied in place whilst it set)

Rang round a couple of local glass places to see about getting a new rear window made, only place locally is Auto Glass, was speaking to one of their guys today who mentioned that they stock sheets of flat laminate glass so should be able to use my old window as a template and cut a new one for me. I have to go back through the week and show them to get a price.
