Gday,
The number plate light lense, the original and the reproduction, quality control needs to be looked into.

G'day
thanks, the Aluminium extrusion took a heap of work to clean up, it was very porous, it was sanded back with 2000, then taped up , the sun visor painted blue and then the whole lot cleared,
regards

When you're faced with an unpleasant task that you really don't want to do, sometimes you just have to dig deep down inside and somehow find the patience to wait for someone else to do it for you.

G'day Men,
noticed today that I had left off the seal between the wiper motor and the firewall, so off with the motor and in with the seal.
cheers
Thomo.

Are you putting the little chrome bits (x3) back on the panel in front of the windscreen?
There are little clips that go under the panel to hold them on

Gday Bumper, yes I am going to put the 3 chrome pieces back, they need to be rechromed, as there is some pitting, but they are just going to get a clean, in my wisdom I never put the 3 on prior to screwing and sealing the panel down.
cheers
