Default Got the SD1 back.

Picked it up this morning. New door skins fitted to some secondhand doors
that were better than the originals, frame wise. I'll need to make or
source some shims to get the best fit. Think it will take the best part of
a week to fit everything back on properly.

Total re-spray and new windscreen fitted 1710 squids. I supplied all the
panels. Paint finish is pretty good. Modern water based stuff. Black as
original.

The oven has melted the sliding strip on the gear selector. ;-)

Your post looked so lonely for 2 days that I just had to keep it company.
That feeling when you get it finished is unsurpassable, isn't it? I'm
interested in your paintwork - surprised they didn't melt more of the
plastic! BTW how does water-based compare with 2-pack for durability?
