Not sure if i mentioned but my window reg on drivers window didnt work... and my pass front door interior light
Culprit for the light - door open sensor
New one
Bought window reg too
Thought i best get it done because window kept dropping
Stripped door
Fucked as suspected
This came, (needs a wash before fitting) it was in a nice thick plastic wrapping
Used as a temp door liner as other is fucked
Steve williams had been at the car
Removed in what seemed to be single fibre squares at a time
Better
Fitted up
Black taped the kner pad - its fucked but has holes in door pad
Need new one of either - the pads are like £200 though 😭
Fitted rear coilies, going to let them settle before i wind them down, props will wind front up a bit tbh
De badged too
Made use of the letters
Bolted up the on side skirt held by cable ties - no pics
Going to have wheels done same as car, need to source a full set of brembos cheap too. Car has a few parking dings im goint to have removed
Its very solid underneat but covered in surface rust, in feb when kadett is painted im going to buzz this all off and underseal
Its also leaking in the boot which i need to fix
Starting to rust, probs my next thing to sort but the cover will make it less urgent...
Its all solid, most of this wiped off
Also wtf is that thing?
It has a spark plug in exhaust not plummed to anything? To do with this?

He's probably going to cut it up and then tell us it was rusty and too far gone.

It is to use and i have been.... but it will be used on dry weekends.... salts out soon so its best off kept nice
Lets not forget i have a company car and an evoque to use too.
Theres no harm in protecting a classic car thats prone to rusting... its not even undersealed ffs... ill do it after winter
