And just add clear reflectors/indicators as Lokiel mentioned.

so after doing a bit of work earlier on today I decided later in the day to get back into the car again

Image


it appeared no work had been done under here for quite some time either. plus you can see where I am missing all my clips to the inner liner

Image


pulled the liner completely and hit it with plastic primer. prior to this washed down the whole area with grease and wax remover

Image


then painted the inner liner and fitted some of the new clips I purchased from the UK supplier -looks pretty neat now :D

Image


then gave the rest a full re- spray. back onto it again tomorrow

I heard late yesterday david Cassidy now gone aged 67...once one of the biggest pop stars in the world in the very early '70's -remember buying his record for $1.10 at the local record shop and transferring it to cassette tape and into the car -
a clarion unit with 4 speakers and a separate equalizer for a bit better punch ....lol and 45 years ago it still cost you a good $300 plus to get sh*t sound :lol: :lol: :lol:

Happy Birthday BILL :lol:

Side stripes arrived today! raining outside but gave it a quick run up the side so it will do @ $35 a side so will get into it later on when the weather clears up.

Image

meanwhile for those still reading and there's always some-one reading -that guy dropped the price on his new mutation birds yesterday to $1500 a pair and ready to release about 50 birds in total and my birthday was pretty good to me so today I order 2 pairs :D

how lucky I was not to go with that wheel idea :roll: that would have been money down the drain for sure. now if your still reading I have a set of 4 17" multi wheel gold coloured with nuts I took off my 5 stud Honda euro which are in fairly good order will fit a variety of cars but don't know which :lol: and don't really care :roll: - couple of minor scrapes from the wife driving -$350 the set and NEGOTIABLE as I want them gone plus freight-just to piss them off out of the yard.
