Yep.
Why?

It's good to know how that's why, I saw the windscreen guy do myn when it had a massive crack and it's not that hard I must say, just need a couple of tools and a good technique

Btw the paint looks amazing can't wait for the polished and waxed pics well done matey!

Thank I shall add the mirrors to the list!

I'm sure you will get round to doing in sometime, I widh I had the skill set and know how to get mine mechanically like yours tho!!!

[Mo13]

A temped to pit all the bits back after the respray put all the sill/strips around the doors, boot and horse shoe wing mirrors and assembled the rear bumper.....taking it all off was so much easier and quick now I have to be careful making sure everything goes back properly and I don't scratch the paint.





It takes ages!!! Just want it done so I can drive it!

[Mo13]

Got some bits done after work - rear bumper and lights (still need to tint them) back on washer jet on front grills on chrome trims on.



Changed the AFM boot only to find a hole missing...!

[FinalD]

Thank I shall add the mirrors to the list!

I noticed at a meet that the cabs and tourings have body colour mirros but the saloons have black (faded to grey) ones, still, yours is a cab so it should be body colour.

I'm sure you will get round to doing in sometime, I widh I had the skill set and know how to get mine mechanically like yours tho!!!

I will eventually and hope to do it myself, just don't have the garage any more.
Mechanicals are easy...just be logical and have loads of tools to hand...and parts.


That rubber boot looks interesting.

[Mo13]

Finally got round to take some pictures for most of the trims ect back on


















Unfortunately my boot lock decided to play up can't get it opened!!! The chrome polish is I'm there along with the stereo and headlight wipers and my tool box!!!! Still have a lot of annoying little bits to do but atleast I can drive it now
