What have you done to your Maserati today?

[Nayf]

Dropped it off for an MoT and some fettling

 

[CatmanV2]

Had it washed. Very happy with how the coating is holding up!

Then I gave the engine bay a bit of a clean and repainted the silly water collecting dish on the expansion tank.

That made me laugh, it is a stupid design isn’t it !!!

Anyone know the size of these little screw in the underside of the bonnet

I have new Alan-cantara roof lining for my 3200. Not even in the top ten jobs to perform, but good to know it can be done. Just one seat out or both?

You don't need to remove the seats, bit of shuffling them back & forth and reclining to get it out / put it back in the car but that's all.
This video, although in German, was a handy guide

Today was spent fitting this.


Rear one this time, so more envolved than the front, with the brake shoes and drive shaft having to come out.
I was lucky with the drive shaft, a normal puller and a long braker bar and a bit of patience was enough to get it out.



However, out of everything what took the most time was a bloody P-clip! The most stupid design of holding the cable away from the driveshaft.



Literally, took half the time of the job to remove and refit that p'clip.

Got there eventually though.




Test drive in the morning...... Fingers crossed it clears the gearbox fault.

I have dabbed the rust in black paint for the moment - to save my eyes

As I am in a car club, and take my car to various shows thought the year, She has to look her best.


So am in the process of taking off my wheel bolts and will be taking them to be Chromed.
Bit expensive at £12.50 each, but they were in a poor state,will do a before and after.

Kure-Rust is pretty good as it dries black.

Finally got round to fitting the beautiful @stindig paddles to La Contesssa.

I bought one of these as was concerned about access and didn’t really want the faff of removing the steering wheel.
It worked like a dream

And refitting this side (the tighter one)

Was a complete doddle!

Cannot wait to fit the @stindig footrest and aluminium pedal covers I’ve sourced but I’m going to contain myself and wait until my @Dman666 mats arrive

I have been meaning to swap out this door catch for ages - did the passenger side 18months ago and never got round to the drives side.

Door now fits flush, stopped high speed wind noise and means water does not get past the winder rubber when I jet wash.

Yeah, but what were you smoking while doing it?

Well as Mr C suggested these are M5 bolts but annoyingly I have only managed to remove two of them, the rest just spin. I imagine they have rusted into whatever they screw into and that is turning with them. You can’t get to the fixing from the other side

Replaced the rusty M6 cap heads behind the petrol cap with some stainless ones. They've been annoying me for 4 years..... But I only remember when I'm at the petrol station

Amazing I can guess the size of other peoples'....
