Spent the night scraping window tint off the glass.

 

All of the windows are clear except the passenger side front door, which is a greeny one, that was replaced when the car got broken into, and the passenger rear is scratched to buggery.

 

Ill have to get 2x new bits of glass.

Try spraying "Oven Cleaner" on the tint first, it'll soften it.

Removed the Stainless strips, Sanded back every little flat section as there was crows feet everywhere from 10x coats of paint.

Painted the grille, and polished the strips and assembled.

Ive finally finished assembling the doors.

 

I found a NOS rear left glass on eBay as mine was scratched pretty bad.

 

The front is all put together and waiting for a front bar.

Cheers boys!

 

I haven't driven it yet, I still don't have front and rear screens in yet. Im waiting on a guy to help me put a new roof lining in it.

 

I was going to put some new seats in it.

If I can find another set of seat rails i'll sell these ones with the rails.
