Not off to a good start, I unpacked the big box of rubbers that I have stored away in a tin trunk at the back of the shed and found that Rares have sent out four left front outer door rubbers and a panel van rear tailgate glass rubber. One step forward, two back- again. Regards Daz.

I feel your pain. I stash away parts for some time for a build, and it’s not unusual to pull them out to use after five (sometimes more) years. When you find they are wrong, it’s hard to get a refund. My last one was a forged flywheel that was supposed to fit grey, but the only fits red. Someone got a good eBay deal when I got rid of it.

Cheers,
Harv

A N.O.S. Windscreen ready to go in and a shot with the front sheet metal in place. I loved the job bolting the guards thru the A -pillar and dropping the bolts down into the bottom recess.
