Should look good. If your going to do it yourself get a spare set of hands and a heat gun. Also viynl blades/ paddle applicators are a must

Fitted front tyre protectors to the ZT. Nice easy job, 5 minutes a side.
Just got the wheels back on before it ****** down. good timing for once

today we have mostly been upto Shildon with the Rover 75.

i've got a new battery and fitted that yesterday after trying to charge the old one up, with no joy.

now going upto Shildon may not seem that exciting but for the last 3 weeks the car has been sat outside home with a kippered clutch.

Andy Willi fitted a new one the other day, thanks once again Andy for doing that, so the car is back into front like service! the gear change is stiff at first but it gets better once its on the move, and as the clutch beds in i'm sure that will get better too.

it does drive like a different car.

i'm well pleased!

Fixed door latch on offside rear. The connecting rod had come out of the nylon clip.

All stripped, cleaned, lubed and reinstalled with new door card mushrooms and christmas tree clip. Thanks to him upstairs for the good weather this morning!

Re-fitted jacking pads (in the rain) and then did a few tip runs with excess cardboard.

Tomorrow it's time to swap the wheels from front to back, as the fronts are getting lunched thanks to the 160 map and my right foot.

Maybe you need to get your feet remapped
