I found the spare rear screen in the shed on Monday night, I saved it from when I changed the hood on the VVC. I was worried it may have creased or cracked after two years but it was just a bit rumbled and a couple of days on the decking in the sun and it has flattend (is that a word) out.
I was hoping to get a start taking the old one off on Tueday between finishing work and going to the welding course I was starting at the local technical college but I was late finishing due to a failed relay on my truck causing me to be parked up for 3 hours and then traffic resulting from a car fire on my segment of the M25. I have noticed some rust on the edges of the front wheel arches so am on the look out for these. |
and the front indicators have been glued in! A common but incorrect fix for the common fualt of the locating tags breaking.
What is worse is the glue has run down the bumper. |
sounds all doable, will be interesting to see it finished.
:yes::yes::yes: |
I found those stainless clips off those clip-frames work a treat on those indicator lugs. With a little work they attach well and clip in with some tweaking.
|
One can wrap a cable tie around the lug, apparently it works well.
|
Cleared out the rubbish and other less expected items.

Flipping heck! And I thought mine was bad. Looks like a good accumulation of fallout, I take it the previous hood did not keep any of the outside from getting in?!
|
The rear screen had a massive hole.
|
Hmm greenhouse springs to mind.
|
Only 8 days later than planned'
Tonight I drilled out the rivets prior to replacing the rear screen. I also pumped up 2 tyres, both off side and reduced the pressure in the nearside front from 40psi! Not quite the "front tyres lose 3psi a day" the car was advertised with. Not to worry, she'll be getting new(er) tyres. |
