As it goes we went to Tesco today because we'd run out of teabags so we've got teabags... and cookies

[Bean]

[yorkshirechris]

Butterscotch & Toffee or White chocolate?

Tea, Coffee, milk, sugar?

[Ethel]

Another obvious solution...what's Chris doin with his old trim cards?

[yorkshirechris]

Chris will be selling them along with the seats

[Bean]

Tea, Milk - No sugar, thanks!

And white choccy!!



I think Chris is keeping his black doorcards?

If not... Chris... Dya want to swap?

[yorkshirechris]

Just how I have it

I don't know what I'm doing yet. Thing is, if I fit the front doorcards I'm buying off you, I'll need new door furniture I think because the handles I have are they early type, which flip up and down, so are horizontal and the holes in the doorcards you're selling me are at an angle so I dont know if that would work

I think I'm just going to change the seats but keep the new doorcards in case I change my mind
We'll have a look tomorrow and see if the new ones will fit ok but I don't want any bias creeping in on your part, lol.

[Bean]

lol, was worth a try!

Was a great idea that effel had


Anywho - I went into town this afternoon to see if anyone had any black vinyl or leatherette stuff... They didnt

And the place that I could order it from was £8.50 per metre

[yorkshirechris]

Minispares sell it on rolls for about £4 I think.

But that's enough to cover a dash rail I think I only know because I asked out of curiosity if they have any pieces big enough to cover a parcel shelf, and it only just fit.

So that's no good to you whatsoever

[Ethel]

Vinyl ain't cheap alas,

I can't see you having any problems if you swap the cards Chris, The handles screw through the doorcards into the door using plastic speed nuts, you'd just need to drill a couple of holes.

[Bean]

I'm going to be covering the bar in some beigey/creamey padded stuff (same stuff that the top dash rail has on it - which will be for sale by the way ) - and the parcels shelf needs to be recovered as it has a hole in it.

Then the doorcards are gonna be black

Theres some on ebay for a decent price, so I might just get 2 metres of that

[yorkshirechris]

Yeah but if i have the "flippy" handles at an angle they might look daft.

And if I don't have them at an angle, then there'll still be holes from Jean's handle

We shall see, we shall see.

Jean can you help me with the bonnet straps tomorrow please? 'because you're clever and have them on yours, I only need to mark where the holes are going to be, lol.

[Bean]

i can!!

I've got the grille off now, so I'll take a photo in the morning for you, so you can see where they go, roughly!! (That is, if it isn't too dark when we leave! - Dad's talking about leaving at 5am )

[yorkshirechris]

Thanks

I've just bought some of that vinyl leatherette on fleabay for my speaker pods

Um.. if you're setting off at 5am that means I will have to be up before 9am... so can you let me know tonight what time roughly you will be here? I haven't got a good track record for getting up to my alarm, especially on a Sunday,

[Bean]

Nooooo - We'll be there at 1

Dad just drives silly-slow!! I've told him I'm not getting up at 4! And we will leave at a decent hour, lol
