Anyway back to it last night… stripped my drivers side door of the outer rubbers, cracked Door trim cap, interior door card, inner scraper & mirror to replace new with new gasket.
Going to fit new door rubber tonight, new door trim card, clean door card, clean around door mirror fitting - grime, replace gasket & put together, relatively simple to do… also the 1/4 window rubbers i've got new too…
start with the passenger side then & do the same, hope by the weekend. Ordered new inner & outer scrapers Sunday eve. off funk-star which am awaiting arrival of - may be there today (hope so) then crack on - once all this is done just to Rims to refurb & i'm pretty much done!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Then I cleaned and waxed it, including behind the trims, vacuumed it, and fitted an older style grille. I'm not sure about it. I also T-Cut the black window pillars. They look a lot better for it.

Haha! Well spotted. It was a round trip – roughly 250 miles to Bridlington to see my grandma (who got a ride out in a wheelchair, sadly not the Cabby), then 100 miles to Bradford to see my old ma, then 250 miles back to London. Going over the Humber Bridge and down Garrowby Hill with the top down were high points.
