Re:
ThanksDeandubya said
it's on a thread which just slot on, look at the opposite side & it's the same way… perhaps angle was too strong a word.. 'same way' or 'the same as the other side' being the passenger side..Âhopsandmovingon said
Ahh I shall have to view a members car for the angles.36thCrazyFist said
And don't forget to get really OCD and line up the handle with the other sideDeandubya said
pretty simple dude… unscrew the rear window winder - pop off the plastic from the centre (quite tricky but pull the outers of the round bit handle sides [|o|] if you know what i mean) which will show a pozi screw, take this off & the bezel… pop the rear door card gently & take out top upwards, from the seatbelt cover & you see the shell with the rear speaker too… put your hand in & have a feel about!Ã,Ã,Âhopsandmovingon said
Visited my cabby, and took a charged battery to start her up.
primed and started first time. phew.
lots of condensation muck at bottom of dipstick and zero oil.
added 1 litre and few pints of fresh fuel and ran for twenty mins until settled down ,
even the exhaust hole noise it ran quietly phew
BUT ,, drivers door still held shut by string due to me dropping striker pin back plate into pillar.
looking at various pictures its the door card to come off, boooo its soooo brittle..
but will have to wait until warmer before moving plastic , snappit dammit regretit.
thanks to all those images of bare shell refurbs it shows from inside where striker pin would be and yes phew it has hopefully settled into cavity.
Ã,Ã, then do the reverse to put your door card back on. SimplesÃ,Ã,Â
Ã,Ã, p.s. don't forget which angle your handle was facing before putting it back on. 15 minutes job done.

I do remember getting in one as a kid and being warned to keep clear to prevent snapping/straining it and not to catch seat belt on it. Ahh memories.
Now where did I put that lottery ticket ?????
a pic of where the card clips are… Drivers side..

Got it.
Dropped it
Got it .
Dropped it
Got it almost seated. Dropped it.
Got it placed plastic bag to catch it incase I ….drop it.
Got it seated in carrier screwed in pin.
Big thanks.
For a little job.
