Elanmi: Completed waterproofing job

Completion and collection after doing work to further waterproof the cabin.

Collection before CNY; the waterproofing work done and ready for collection. Work done included:

1) Additional canvas lip sewn onto the existing softop

2) Modified aluminium angle bar to act as rain guard

3) Wrap canvas material to aluminium angle bar, plus leak testing

4) Water repellant coating to softtop

Overall, I have no complaints. It definitely takes much longer for water to enter the cabin now with this extra fabric blocking the entrance for water to seep in. The central issue for this setup would be that the top will never really be able to go down.

Whilst returning from Carros, had a bizzare issue whereby it would suddenly just shut off. Clutch in, revs drop to idle, and it would just turn off. It happened twice or thrice, and there was little sputter, so not like a stall; seemingly the car would just turn itself off.

A troublesome girlfriend, one might put it. The issue presented itself again but without stalling. Surprisingly, this issue never arose. An ex-owner suggested I clean the MAF sensor and clean the throttle body. I assume it was because the car may have sat for a while, but I find it very odd. Elanmi may have been unhappy I left her in a new environment.
