henryp's new awakening

[henryp]

Had the windows removed this morning ! All came out beautifully! No cracks, no nothing
The guy was very professional and had them out in no time. Charged me £60 to remove all 4, and then he said he'll want another £60 to put them back in. Which I thought was a fair price.

The cars booked in for the respray on Monday, so this weekend I'll be getting the parts ready to send off with the car!

^^ In this picture you can really see the colour difference between the door and rear quarter/front wing..

Oh well, I'm in no rush

 

[henryp]

little update;
been told the car will be sprayed monday! 4coats NH-0, 4 coats clear.. So should have it by the end of the week fingers crossed!

decided it would be a good idea to start making a list of all the little parts i've broken removing the interior, also need to get myself a set of amber side repeaters..
then ended up cleaning all the interior parts in the sun!

First Japanese receipt found!

The parts!

Spray spray spray spray spraaaaay

ewwwwwwwwwwwww!

yayyyyyy !

all done

didn't get any pictures, but i put some interior shampoo stuff on the rear carpets + door card material, came up a good 'un!

really can't wait to get the olde girl back and give her a proper seeing to inside! roof liner, carpets, seats etc!
also want to put all these pretty parts i've been gathering on her!

 

[RoEk9]
