Seat runners, felt like Robie Creek. Beading for hood edge.

Took most of the morning to rebuild the seat runners, not only were they gummed up with greasy goop they were bent.  The bend made them bind so they had to be disassembled cleaned and straightened to get them to move. 
I also worked on the hood "convertible top' in American, the previous 'trimmer' had left an exposed edge which looked quite unsightly IMHO.

The foam is deteriorating and replacements are on the way from SNG Barrett.
The new seat covers arrived today and look quite nice. 

Probably next on the list, Jennifer said the brakes felt soft and this is likely the reason, don't know if you can see it but they have been leaking for some time.

Unfinished edge to hood, very rough appearance when the hood is up

Beading in place, not perfect but a little better with a more finished edge suitable for an E Type.



I'll try to get some pictures uploaded of the seat covers later but that's it for today, as my Mother used to say 'it's Miller time!'  
Cheers,
Lynn
