Yesterday, actually.
But I finally extracted her from where she was residing for the last 5 (almost) years and sent her to the garage to be fixed up and made MOT worthy. A big day indeed and I am thoroughly happy!

^^ I love how clean the paintwork is around the lights and the bonnet shut lips. I'm jealous :P

I'll be getting those lights for my Clubby sometime soon I hope.
What are the best bulbs to go with them ?

Could you not get another company on it?

It's a vinyl from Dunelm Mills .... £7 a metre ... I only had half a metre to try it :-) I will be getting more ;-))
Really easy to use, and very pliable ..... Used a combination of spray glue and staples ... Really pleased.....

Got 3 windows in :-)

Would have 4 in, but spray on adhesive (for the headlining) removes cellulose paint :-|

Time to get the touch up paints out!

I thought I would run seam sealer along the passenger side sill join. As I have a leak in the rear bin I thought this may help it.. Then I thought I'd do the rear arch. Then the front.

When I got to the front arch I found rust... Then this happened!

It's amazing what a bit of seam sealing can lead to!
