Today I decided to swap out the checkstrap on the drivers side door.

Nothing went to plan.
1) The checkstrap didnt fit
2) I broke the plastic part that helps align the doorcard to the top of the door. Its superglued for the short term

However, I did have a supervisor.

Door card off

Back on - can just about make out the damage

Supervisor not impressed

What was up with your check strap?

My drivers door is incredibly creaky and white grease on the hinges didn’t solve it. So was thinking it may be that.

Seems an odd bit to be missing? Was it just flopping about in the hole then?

The replacement was missing these parts

Its the part that is at the top of where the doorcar meets the actual panel. Provides a weather seal/strip against the inner window. I think it might be 7701207589?

I have two new check straps to fit and a replacement piece for the top of the door card that I cracked .

I am on the lookout for a new bonnet as my is rough. The car isn’t perfect, but this lets it down.

I swapped my bonnet the other day too due to similar rust spots appearing.

The 172cup is now my daily workhorse.

One wheel off for straightening and some paint. Lost a little chunk at Anglesey!

Todays weather has been sunny.

I have a replacement weather strip
I have two check straps.

The replacement one looked too long, but looks can be deceptive. It fitted well and I didnt have a wrestle with the doorcar putting it back together. The door is now proper stiff to open and close in a good way. Am I supposed to apply grease anywhere?

I had noted the dash binnacle was rattling at any speed so whipped off the steering column surround and nipped that up.

I neshed the other side as I wanted to quit while winning. One for another day.

This car is the gift that keeps giving.

Yesterday I fixed the drivers side check strap and a few rattles.

For my service to the restoration of the car the boot lock is now clicking and won’t open.

Investigation required I think!

andybond · Apr 6, 2025

in an act of the car wont defeat me I decided today was the time to change the center exhaust hanger.

I appreciate it’s likely to fail again , but for now it will do.

Oh, and now the lock has completely packed in on the boot

I tried to get the front bumper off but the nut was spinning the bolt and stuck. Got fed up so painted the brace between airbox and ECU.

Then played with my new parrot remote control so I can actually hear it.

Rock and roll!

andybond · Apr 12, 2025

After pestering @DiamondPerformance for an age on whatsapp I got down to 3000grit wet and dry , a lot of warm soapy water then some cutting compound which I applied by hand.

For an amateur effort its a solid 8 out of 10 and I dont think you would notice the repair unless I pointed it out. Sure the lacquer isnt super glossy but it doesnt catch the eye either!

Happy overall.

3/10. Old giffer repair, masking lines from previous go still visible
