The headlining had a tear, so this had to be repaired.

The frame was quite badly rusted so I sand blasted and zinc coated it, came up like new

Then I glued on and clipped the new material into position

Picked up a couple of bits from Bingley at the weekend, just a fre seals and brackets and stuff.

I got the window seals and runners so I got one of the side windows in, they are a bit tight but hopefully they will free up over time

Then I got the check strap fitted

I didn't like the normal van style door seal so I upgraded to the cooper style stuff, much nicer looking and a better fit, I also fitted some cooper sill trims

Also the heater unit was looking very tired

So I stripped it all down

Sand blasted all the panels
