[The Milkman]

I'm glad I take loads of photos, great for comparison and to remind me how much I've got done when things seem to be going slow.

[The Milkman]

Had a spare half hour to play and the weather wasn't too bad so I did the other side.

Same set up.

Ordered some mats the other day, bit too light but anything is better than the rubber mats in there at the minute.

[The Milkman]

Rears are a bit big, but I should be able to make them fit. (Not putting them in until the carpets and seats have had a proper wet vac)

[The Milkman]

Chrome/wood window winder handles and lock pins in.

[The Milkman]

Thought I'd fit the metal rear number plate that's been sitting in the garage since last year, I wanted to get rid of the plastic backing between the rear lights.



Came off easy enough but then I saw this



Not rusted through but a nasty little scab

[The Milkman]

The rear lights are so well stuck in and I don't have time for a proper strip down at the minute so I did a running repair on it.



Rust remedy

[The Milkman]

Didn't come out too bad, by the time I've got the rest of the panel polished and the numberplate stuck on I don't think you'll really notice it.

[The Milkman]

Quick polish up

[The Milkman]

Plate stuck on

[The Milkman]

May not matter to a lot of people but it's all in the detail for me





Once the tailgate is sorted, badges removed and new back box, it should be a good looking rear end!

Cars looking tidy,

Where did you order your mats from?

Fronts aren't a perfect shape and rears are too big, but they were cheap and they'll do for now.
