The new HI horn

I finally found a working HI horn. It's a replica that doesn't fit ~exactly~ but it will suffice for now. It feels good to make the car more complete. It sounds nicer too!

The cowl

Here's a couple pics of my cowl.

The cowl is an area under the windshield with one (in my case) or two holes like this to get air inside the car and let water outside.

The one hole I got is used to get air into the heater box when the heating is turned on.

Because it's surrounded by water this is THE number one area to get rust.

I see rust but I don't see any holes, does this mean mine is still OK?

Replacing the front shock bushings

My shock bushings at the front are cracking and I'm not pleased with that. They are made of rubber and have dried out I guess.

So I found these babies. Someone from America was kind enough to take them with him on a trip to Europe and post them in the UK to save me a lot of taxes and transport costs.

These new ones are made of polyurethane which is also flexible but doesn't dry out as much. Very good replacement bushings!

They are a bit smaller though so I put a different washer on top. Looks great!
