Thanks guys.

Me? A happy camper?????? A5OPY knows me better than that - I'm never content!!!! 😳 Saw a little 'wet' patch under the car last night, went to investigate and found an oily deposit. A bit of investigation revealed a leaking r/o/s shocker…… more flipping expense!!! Got to get it done cause I'm towing a trailer down to the AGM in 17 days!!!!!  :banghead:

The ever helpfull Bert says '20 minutes a side' job - yeah right Bert. Thats with a 4 post ramp, all the right tools, expertise and non solid bolts!!!! Me? Thats 4 hours a side, skimmed knuckles, complaints from the neighbours for foul language and rounded off bolts!!! 🙄😳

 I bet that passenger window winder's been fitted so that it's exactly horizontal when the window is closed.

T :P

Would you believe that all four line up at 'roughly' the same angle as each other???!!!!  :redfaced:

That is when a mechanic/ hood fitter or any other person who can't operate wind down windows doesn't break the hard to come by brown winder!!!  :banghead:   :banghead:  :banghead:  :banghead:

Got this fitted today and will be having the electrics done tomorrow hopefully. I'm going for the lead being non permanent so when I'm not towing to a show I can tuck the lead in to the boot and revert to the non tow bar bumper.

Dano your car is looking stunning mate.

Loving the interior.

I hate seeing cars fresh out the bodyshop, makes me want to get mine done NOW!! Lol.

Looking forward to having a good look at it at the AGM.

Thanks.

I was hoping to have it all done and finished but clutches and suspension issue have prevented me from doing the wheels and small bits inside the car.

They'll keep! 😉

I was recently looking through my old photos and I came across these from Dubfreeze 2005 !:wink: I didn't know it was yours at the time, nor had I even signed up to this forum! And it never clicked with me that it was yours until now!
