turbo 251 - rolling resto

[G51 NAV]

How did you do it Chris, is it fresh bumpers?

[Guest]

we spent about 3 hours picking all the filler out with a wood chisel - then sanded, then cleaned the insert up - repainted them both. But I'm actually lieing and took the quick option of swapping them with someone else

[Guest]

Old centre console with snapped off lugs - replaced with nice new one complete with the correct! gear knob

Looking good. Can't promise after you've finished it'll go as well as your TVR and Westfield though lol.

[Guest]

Great to meet you today Chris, and I look forward to seeing 251 in the metal

[Guest]

yes, was good to meet you and your husband too, start to put some faces to names :+)

[Guest]

now with side strips on

[Mike Brock]

Looking well Chris.

[G51 NAV]

Looking great Chris. Hope the adhesive strips live up to my recommendation.

[Guest]

so far so good John! had to trim a bit of the mouldings so the adhesive made good contact.

[G51 NAV]

Ah yes, it's quite thin. Now you come to mention it, think I too had to shave-off the rough edges top and bottom so that they sat absolutely flush with the door-skins. It's a good thing in a way, they don't look as obviously taped to the door. And what looks even worse is when you use tape that's too thick and the strips protrude from the door-skins with an obvious gap, which also traps dirt and moisture.

Is it just me or does it have black plastic door handles not BRG?

[Guest]

yes - you are correct - they are the incorrect grey ones. well, there is one solitary green one on the other side - all on my shopping list!

Replacement aeriel fitted. And yes I forgot to tie some string to the end of the cable lol. So had lots of fun trying to feed it thru. After it was finally fitted I then released the mounting holes were not lined up, so I desoldered the brackets and swapped them, also fitted new unbutchered a pillar trim!
