very productive day yesterday

Post by Ryoken » Thu Mar 15, 2018 7:29 am

yesterday me and my mate dave  decided it was time to fix the beast
so , at 11 am we started ,
with tools in hand we removed both passenger side doors and  stripped them down , windows, regs handles the lot...........
5 hours later i now have 2 shiney, no scratched (keyed) or rusty doors,
apart from me having a blonde moment and closing it , without the bowden cable attached, everything was fine
next job the tailgate

Hi

That sound like is was very useful to get that job done.

You isd you ended up with two shiney doors did you replace them or did you  paint them.

only problem I've got now is , the little window in the rear door is a different tint to the rest of the car :)
i know ive got to re tint my windows due to tearing and rippling , but it gives me another excuse to get it done

then ,
wheels refurbing £300
then nice shiney xpipe exhaust
and then a body detail
