Right then,little update.I have been very slowly building Potter back up.
I havnt had much time on it due to me doing this Vitara for a mate at work.
Jacking it up,disc brake conversion on the rear,a lift kit,extending the propshaft and steering box etc
Anyway back to Potter
When i got him back from the bodyshop i noticed a few clips were buggered so rather than use old i bought some new ones for the gutter trims,scuttle panel and side trims.
I then recovered the headlining in cream suede.I hated every second of this task i cant do it,i will never do it again and i f**ked it up royally.
This is the finished product.Its wank crap sh!t and i now need another headliner which i will take to get retrimmed by someone who knows what theyre doing(as you can tell i get mardy when i cant do something!)
It will do for now until i fetch another one in the next month.
I then had to deal with all the grubby interior plastics.I was gunna go down the retrimmed route with these,but after failing at the headlining im going to take a new set to get recovered at the retrimmers when i take the headlining.
Next up was making a start on the very dusty interior.I stripped all the carpet out,took the spare wheel out and the side panels etc.The used a APC to clean it up,then gave it all a good polish up.
Just got to reroute the wiring so it is neater but i will do that before i put the back seats back in.
I also recieved my new boot struts courtesy of Mr Gash
Because the tailgate is heavy now the original one blew while the bodyshop man was working underneath it.I laughed,he probabaly didnt lol.
I then realised that i never sorted the wiring out to the number plate lights now that they are in the rear bumper.So i whipped the bumper off CAREFULLY,marked the hole out,drilled it,painted it and fitted a wallace and grommit.
Wahay they work!
Thats it for now
