Well some more updates i had done these over the last week but my camera decided it wasnt going to work!
Bought a brand new check strap from pug. £25 not to bad as the ones on ebay are going for the same price. fitted it but need a new check strap pin as id forgot to order it. so the dorr still cracks a bit when opening.
also ordered a new fitting kit for the windows as the passenger side kept falling forward when putting the window up and the drivers side is eld in by 2ps. so i orded a green window clip as i was told it was the green one. turns out i need a white one but after looking the winow mech has chewed its cable in the motor so i need a new window reg :angry:
I had noticed that the passenger side light was darker and assumed it had been replaced at some point. turns out the chrome had just faded away so this happened
Piece a wee to do no stupid clue to deal with! Pic of the faded reflector
Pic of the opposite
Keyed with 1500 grit paper it just literally rubbed off in minutes
Primed
Then painted in Ford Graphite gray i had lying around spare
Cleaned the lenses up it be stupid not to!
One insert in position
The finished product.
Gave the car a quick clean up spending 45mins rather than the usual 3 hours... And my fave picture
This was taken with the handbrake ranked up to the max and still it decided it wouldnt hold typical 306 eh?
While it was on the slope and tension on the beam took a pic of the rear as this is my idea of perfect lowered height... to which brings me onto the next thing. iv got some 40mm springs to go on eventually too now.
Comments welcome D
