purplebargeken Posted May 12 Author Posted May 12 Not much progress but the air filter and housing have been removed, at least I can eyeball the oil cooler now. Need to order an air filter, luckily I have a few fuel filters to hand, the one on there now looks way past its sell by date. Will get some new plugs too as it’s not known to me when they were done last. It’s a start 😊 Stinkwheel and Marshall2810 2
purplebargeken Posted May 14 Author Posted May 14 Nothing mechanical to report but stuff done on the interior. The original vinyl has faded and discoloured badly. See photo. It’s horrible.
purplebargeken Posted May 14 Author Posted May 14 Found some spray on vinyl paint on eBay. Mid beige. Worth a try. Door card cleaned and given two coats of the paint. Marshall2810, Dyslexic Viking, Stinkwheel and 3 others 6
purplebargeken Posted May 14 Author Posted May 14 Very impressed with how it went on. I’m liking it tbh. Contrasts well with the body colour and brown of the other bits of trim. A vast improvement methinks. More cans ordered which will enable me to go on a trim recolouring frenzy which will include some of the dash trim. Sigmund Fraud, grogee and Dyslexic Viking 3
jonathan_dyane Posted May 14 Posted May 14 Miles away from the original colour but looks excellent lesapandre and purplebargeken 1 1
purplebargeken Posted May 15 Author Posted May 15 Done a second door card today, so one can covers two panels. Not bad tbh. This stuff is bloody brilliant. lesapandre, Keymaster, Stinkwheel and 1 other 4
purplebargeken Posted July 23 Author Posted July 23 Things have stalled at the moment, mostly due to utter loss of mojo/energy since being forced into full retirement. This is due to NHS change of policy on the use of bank workers such as myself. All four door cards have been colour changed and it really lifts the interior. Any change in progress will be reported, but it may be a while 😔 Keymaster, Stinkwheel, mk2_craig and 1 other 3 1

That took much longer to type than anticipated due to the overwhelming desire to close my eyes and drift off. Fuck you Amitriptyline. doesnt do shit for me....... allegedly given to me to help sleep!!!
