  1. I know what you're saying. I did mine and they were a pain! Luckily didn't rip anything!

  5. I think I can see you've missed a spot when cleaning your coffee table.
     
  6. I'm sure everyone that's changed a windscreen will know the pain I've been through.

    Anyway in other news my new tracking device turned up :) I'm going to set it up to send alerts if the van is moved, perfect to catch any would be thieves in the process.

    Wipers are now on, will put the seats back in next week and arrange an MOT. If it passes that's when the real restoration begins :)
     
  8. Windscreen surround looks pretty solid. Much nicer than removing the screen to find nothing under the rubber.

  9. Working in the cab still at the moment. Bought these repro under seat matts. Today's job, remove the open cell foam off the bottom and replace with closed cell foam.
