The dog rough estate

[DeeTurbo]

Bloody drivers door handle broke the other week and I couldn't find white one so bought a new plastic one off eBay. The quality of it is shit. I thought I'd paint it.



I also thought I'd paint the wing mirror as the paint was wearing off for some strange reason.



It seems the wing mirror had been replaced at some point.



Wing mirror all painted and fitted.



Both done.



When I used to push the door to it would never latch properly, I played around with the door strap and the latch. The only thing that worked was replacing the catch.

Old one.


New (used) fitted.


The door shuts a treat now.

Today I finally got around to fitting the gear linkages I bought two or so years back because there is loads of play in the stick and some gears wouldn't go in as nice.

New with old.


New ones fitted.


I found the linkages are a lot easier to fit from a combination of beneath and through the passenger wheel well.

After fitting I still have loads of play and I've not had chance to go for a test drive yet. I think the selector ball and bush are too worn.
