Cool Today's Project....... Roof Vents !!

Well what can I say other than a massive thanks to Merv and Ellis for fitting a few flaps.... not one... not two... but 3 flaps Kev for the space and food and Dean for an extra pair of hands.

Here's a few of mine to start with

Firstly removing the roof lining and assorted trims...







Then the mounting brakets go in...





That gives you position....



After Ellis and his multipal measurements....



















You get the idea....



Then join em up....



At this point we all told Merv what a nice chap he was



Now just so you realise we had a bin liner taped to the inside to seal and catch all the trimmings...



Then Ellis plus a sharp knife took over...





Roof trim cut...





The dog also had to show patience

Note the muffin balancing on her nose



This is the result.....





Tidy



Then Kev's Type R had the same treatment....





Followed by Danny's Type R...





Again a massive thanks to team SWS for this.... another show of Welsh hospitality I think it's safe to say

Its taken us a little while to get this project completed but over the moon that its all done.
Its been a good day, Merv and Ellis did a cracking job and as said looks factory fit.

We had a good little system going today, good effort chaps

Looking forward to a road test

Cracking job there Merv and Ellis, they look really good and factory fitted.

I would have been pooping myself have to cut the roof on both cars, Merv must have nerves of steel before long there will be more cars in SWS with roof flaps than without.

It took so long because the blades kept wearing too quickly and breaking

you're right about the more flaps than without in SWS

I agree to what Gary said, two of the best looking GC's on Scoobynet. Oh how I am very jealous.
