Chortles Project Green Rivage. New roof time....

Send me your pay pal Please Mark and I will send some funds over.

How does the carpet come out at the sides around the seat belt anchors and also there are 2 plastic caps with slots in them that hold it to the side bits, how Di these come off?

Cheers

Chortle

Oh yes have the adaptor..lol

Done a bit more today.
Fitted membranes to the doors.



Rebuilt the doors back up.



Swapped the old steering wheel over which I will refurb later.
Picked a wheel up for a tenner ages ago, leather too and seen these in the Rivage. So refurbed that the other day.

Out with the old



Looking worn in places.



In with the new.



Dash vent kit fitted



Tidied the interior up a bit. Still need to address the carpet though.





Gave her a wash n brush up.
Still needs the paint doing and the hood, but was fed of her looking unloved.

Liking it… for a Rivage!!!  :wink:

I know a guy whom maybe able to sort your hood out

Looking good so far.

Cream interiors look great in golfs.

I need to get myself the dash vent kit.

Car is looking pretty good. Seats look spot on… Leather has come up very smart.

The alloy wheels have some bling off them. Did they get a polish?

Yes Hugh,

the wheels had a wipe down lol.

Forgot stuff that's been done all ready.

Wheel bearings, top mounts ETC.

Seats look great Carl (now I can see the pics without my glasses on!) LOL

Forgot, wheel drums, rocker cover gasket to do still.
Fixed horn, heated seat on drivers side seems to be on all the time so need to see if the switch is bust or faulty relay somehow.
Also new windscreen. Need to tidy up fuse box too at some point after all the poking about.
4 new tyres.

AND you even had time to help fit Richy new hood... Legend!

Hi Mate,

Car is coming along mate, hope the rivage tracing worked ok ?

Are you going to change the needles colour on the dash back to white, only the Sportlines had red needles?

Cheers

Hey Dave,
Good to hear from you fella, yes thanks so much for your help. Owe you some beer token if your coming to the AGM?
Bit far for you, but be good to have a chat and a beer or two.

Just been trying to sort mine out lol.
Getting there now, just a bit of paint to do.
Going to replace the bonnet as it looks like someone has break danced all over it and it's going to be easier to paint all the new bits I have lime the bumper, body kit etc and just swap em when I am ready. That way I can still use the car.
All we need is some sunshine, a few good dry days do we can all crack on.

How's your spotless Rivage?
Hope your good fella.

Cheers

Chortle

Hi Mate,

Mine is a bit dirty at the moment, due to Errol car show, need to clean arches etc    

I've put photos up on Regional/Scottish meets.  

It was a great show though

Won't be able to make it to the AGM, unfortunately due to holidays.  

Keep the good work up, looks stunning so far  

Cheers

Davie
 

Thought a tiny update was due.

These are the Rivage decals Dave! Turned out very nice.

Cannot wait to get them on my car..



Pity your not coming AGM  



Bought a windblokker the other week off the forum, got it at the right money to be fair as it was missing straps and it was damaged in parts. Worse of all it was Grey.

I thought it must be of use to someone..So I decided to have it.

All ready having a windblokker anyway I thought cannot be too difficult to replicate whats missing.

It arrived and I could see the issues straight away. So a quick trip round E bay and less than a tenner later I had all the stuff I needed.



I gave it good clean etc and used the special soap to get the muck off it.

The damaged areas were stitched under neath and then a vinyl patch was glued on, cut out an old hood.




 

So now let's deal with the color..

Next I masked the netting up and the straps that weren't removable.





I gave the vinyl a couple of coats of the special paint I used on the seats, so it now matches and is beige.



The missing straps were replicated and new press studs put on.









New roll over bar straps made up from velcro.







And in place on the roll bar..



Seat strap fitted around leg..



Windblokker in place..







Nice.. lol.

Great work on the wind blocker Carl, looks great.

Im trying my hardest to be able to make it to the agm.

Need to sort my mot and tax out first tho :-(

Good work!!

You've been using that old skool filter again haven't you!!!  :mrgreen:

Hope you can make it Ceri..

It's the  cover on my iphone Dano, not my creative photography skills…lol.

Bouchay is gonna kill me…..!!!!!!

went for a spin also and remembered how just good these are at killing the cabin noise and wind.

Need to start on the bonnet and boot at some point.

that windbreaker looks awesome, where did u get the straps with the plastic clips done/made?
