Sound-proofing, I said SOUND-PROOFING!
As a professional writer I should be able to make anything sound interesting – even the rather dull task of finding and fitting sound-proofing material to a thirty-six year old Aston Martin V8.
The original engine bay insulation consisted of sponge backed thick vynyl material – which soaked up the moisture like, well, a sponge.
I wanted to replace it with something more practical but that looked similar – could I find something? Could I not.
Aston Martin still supply the spongey stuff, but at over a hundred quid for three pre-cut pieces I was not tempted.. Instead I am using the same insulating foam I put round the fuel tank (remember the fuel tank folks? – that was three years of blogging ago!!)
As my eye is taking longer to heal than it takes for an MP to pay back their expenses, I couldn’t do too much this weekend – so I cleaned up and painted the door hinges and fitted the aircon controller Now, wasn’t that interesting?
While blogging I tend to surf You Tube for interesting music, the Yoshida Brothers are my latest discovery.
