Thanks, there is a lot more to get it the way I like it.

And yes, the English salt their roads.

Also….. people do not care about cars, so it is driven on salt roads and parked, year after year.

Cars will die.







Two small jobs done.

Due to the new to me, Caddy vans arrival, focus was lost for a bit.

So yesterday afternoon I got a couple of minutes in there.

First job, wrap up the rear carpet retainer strip refit, with new screws.

Looks loads better.





Then proceeded to mess with the piece of Mazda Bongo trim I got from Bill @oxb1l in Scotland

Wish I had the original trim, that would be better.

But we can make it up as we go along.



Just needs a dry, warmer day and some tiger seal to make fit.



Marked, cut, ground, repeatedly till it was a decent fit.



Heat gun action to reshape and get a curve into it.



Well, sun is out, now may be a good time before the next lot of rain drowns the ducks.

More small jobs to get done.
