  7. all you need is a little rain over 45 years to stay trapped in the windscreen and bodge repairs.

  10. I did but presumed it was the US or Canada :rolleyes:

    Our night manager/tame convict is out there in Oz but very rural so only gets t`internet when there`s not a fire and the wind is in the right direction . @Terrordales may know someone or better still , you put in some man hours and find a breakers locally ...

    Anyone remember Darren Macray ??
    I`m seeing the start of something similar ;)

    :hattip:

    Yes, there were several clues really but it’s a pity he didn’t let on earlier.

  18. I am getting the parts made up. I will need a diagram showing how the pillar connects to the roof/ gutter and the inner strengthening bar and the top of the windscreen
     
  19. @77 Westy do you know how to do connect the skins for the a pillars?

    Sorry, I don’t know Dean. You could try to butt weld repair sections in but maintaining the screen aperture shape and size so the glass fits will not be easy. As I said earlier, I’d replace the whole front section if I were you. Is there nowhere in OZ that sells body cuts?
