Changed the bonnet latches to nice shiny new black ones. Satisfying result for an all yellow / black car. 
 

Just have to work out now how to get the rivet bodies out from inside the tub / trim gap as will probably rattle about. 

 

Done a similar thing.

I think nearly every Westfield on the road has a few rivet heads either in chassis tubing or between fiberglass and alloy and both in my case they don't really rattle around .

Did the same on my orange car - amazing how such a small change can make such a big difference to the look. I was also worried about the rivet bodies rattling - but I can't hear anything over the noise of the ITBs and exhaust....

Just squirt in plenty of Dinitrol or similar cavity wax and that should quieten them down!

Now you mention it I think I may have done just that!

Had to move my work bench from the shed into the garage as the shed is in the process of falling down.  The garage has no power and it's a bit dingy. 

 

I was going to buy some Ryobi work lights but they seem expensive and weren't really what I wanted so I knocked my own up from a Ryobi battery adaptor, a buck converter and some led strip:

Fuel tank modifications to move the filler neck out the top and plate over so very suspect workman ship from previous owners

This is the typical fodder for the workshop .. TVR Cerbera with faulty MBE 941 ecu  - now changed to  Emerald K6plus .  I never get tired of working on Cerberas ... 

The track day westy is next on the ramp for a bit of a fettle prior to sending it off for some intake fabrication work on the turbo install.

Made the right rear wheel arch a year ago, finally gotten around to making the left rear. Now a full sand down, and clear coat before fitting to the tub

Making a simple Emerald ecu loom so I can replace the Omex that's currently in there.

MOT today. All good, ready for another 300 miles….thankfully I get MOTs for free!!

 

 

eta….   Long story short, due to the combination of GSXR600 ITBs, a stock engine that generates a lot of suck and a very early ECU that has fixed load sites, the car occasionally pops & bangs on very slight throttle. Found myself pondering the cost of a new Emerald K6+ after the MOT run yesterday. Sadly, the current ECU is too old to benefit from the rather generous Emerald upgrade offers so it has to be a new ECU. I should have just bought the one Karl temporarily set up on the car that proved and then cured the issue when we had it mapped all those years ago.

New alternator modified and fitted today. Oil change done too. Ran out of time for a test run... 

 

Engine starts runs and charges so am hopeful...
