When I saw you'd turned up in an Olsdmobile Andy, I thought you'd lowered your standards.
But that 98 looks like one special car.

Neat job.
Do you use water or a solvent to wipe it off? or just lick your finger?

I used masking tape mainly because i thought the vinyl roof would make it difficult to get a clean edge.

For some reason Derek, when i saw your caravan i thought of the film 'Snatch'.
And expected to see Brad Pitt coming out shouting a dodgy Irish accent.

Thanks Blue, several people recommend Tiger Seal in preference to silicone. The problem I found with Tiger Seal is it skins over quite fast if you’ve faffed about removing masking tape, and whatever is left in the tube after a day or so will be impossible to get out of the tube.

We’ve reserved a table or 3 for this year’s meal on Wednesday 13th December (our usual 2nd weds). 7pm for 7.30 sit down. All welcome. Venue is the usual 3 Horseshoes at Hook’s Cross. SG14 3RY.

Why is there ALWAYS a Beetle somewhere in these old pictures?

Agreed Guy, but I didn’t use him on this occasion. The knob selling the parts on US ebay didn’t reply about shipping so decided not to buy. What are the like?

Ok so maybe not as comfortable as seats from a modern car LOL.
Can't believe that General Lee sold for £70k with seats out of a Jag or Granada...

and the front, hopefully not upside down..

All seems ok so set about refitting, Rob helped with the back seat as that can be a pig. And it was. Fitted a bit more thin foam behind the rear 'door' panels as they can rattle, and also adjusted the black trim panel under the rear side window as it has always squeaked / graunched against the door ...

Minimal squidge of Tiger Seal around the screen trim, plus some strategically placed pieces of neoprene foam around the A pillar.
Also some between the top of the tail light housing and body plus some thick gasket paper behind the original foam tail light gasket. Seems water tight now it's pulled up.

Interior being stripped and taking up most of the garage...

The actual trip was great, if a bit wet (did someone mention this already?). I won't post up any pics of the trip as i think Rob may have posted 1 or 2... Since we got back most of my evenings have been spent stripping out, drying, spraying, sealing and re-installing the entire interior. I soon real...

We'd talked about fitting an electric fan to supplement the fixed stock fan. Obviously it would have to go in front of the rad and next t...
