I’ve stuck mine back up half dozen times bits here, bits there. Hardest part was scrubbing off the foam still in there that had mixed with the adhesive.
You may as well pull it out Enry you’d do it easily. 3 coats of emulsion has given the board extra rigidity but can cover it with whatever you want it’s the foam that’s the problem.
No lining means I never have to do it again and is so much brighter in the cabin

Trying my hand at a bit of Matt black painting, it may well fall/peel off as I have 0 patience with paint...

Starts off with the front covers but then you need to do all the rest to match !

Turned the car around and propped it up securely for round 2. So much crud,nobody ever hosed the underside. still better than sitting doing nothing.The only problem is that I keep forgetting how old I am and after 2 or 3 hours I can hardly move,thank god for painkillers. Keep safe everyone

How do you get them off? I know the wiper has to come off, but I thought you couldn't do much after that

Right, after the wiper, then the headlamp has to come out and the trim comes out..however..when that bit is painted. What about the window bottom trims on the doors.? Then the B&C pillars, they can't be painted, then the rear corner panels, they CAN be painted, then the trim above the tailgate top...where to stop..!!??

Where on Earth have you been?
And how is the new to you V8 more importantly

Bagshot · Apr 23, 2020

V8 been great, few niggles. Usual EAS reseals, (valve block, compressor) air con system needs replacing.(totally) and the radio amp died.. permanently. Apart from that ideal. (Do still miss the doozal though, but don't tell anyone..

Yep, as said you have to pull the whole headlight and carrier out!! When I put my offside one back in I found the wing needed reseting as it was 5mm closed up onto the indicator lense.. Now I have shiny bits next to my bolts

But it looks better for it with the bonnet down

What do you Harrow the paddock with now?

brianp38dse · Apr 23, 2020

I fix the drivers window, last summer I put a new window regulator in as I had the cogs jumping then before Christmas the window glass would only go up at funny angle and not shut, got it shut and said don't use it.
So today let's have a look I bet it's come out of the plastic clips

err no, so a quick think, son had just put the welder away

so 4no 4BA bolts and double nuts latter
