Starting to look like a race car now mate. Bet that stiffens things up a treat!

Sounds good. Tidy solution on the guages as well - would be handy to be able to print whatever parts you fancied making, although I'm sure I'd end up with a garage full of failed ideas 😂

Hope you're doing better now mate.

Most of the time it's picking the right key word to use in the search. Often stuff you're looking for is in people's build threads, but even when you don't find what you're after at least you get to dip into what folk were doing to their cars. 👌

That's a great idea.. Better than trying to follow water tracks.

You been sprinkling shiny dust again I see.. Looking sweet 😎

Totally agree mate. It's a nightmare trying to find stuff out about the stepwagon. There is a UK forum but there's hardly any content on it...everything seems to be on Facebook, but as you say it's rubbish for finding stuff unless you spend hours searching and stumble on something relevant. I'm keeping away from Facebook again nowadays.. Find it a real waste of energy.

Fingers crossed you've got it sorted. 👌

Yeah, could never get rid of it now (especially after all the dough ploughed into the resto...) it's been with me for 20yrs this summer! That'd be great to get a how to on mate. It's a proper weakness on these, especially decks it seems.

Water leaks are a nightmare.. It just goes where it wants and it's so hard to track down. Hope you get it figured out. I can see where mine is running down into the spare wheel well, it's just down the side, in the same place I had it on my other shell, so it'll be running down the panel under the rear quarter window.

Yeah, the lure of facebook has made it quieter, but I think it always does get worse over winter cos nobody wants to do stuff to their cars other than urgent things. Yeah, still got the vti (though it's got a new shell now as the old one rusted out). She's hiding under a half cover at the mo until I can sort out the water leak.. Kept having to empty the spare wheel well. It's off the road while the council keep putting rust dust on the roads. We've also got a stepwagon, but that's also got a water leak from somewhere 🤦 so that's hiding under a cover as well.

You can see the clips on the pic here I seem to remember the fronts are easier because the windows winds all the way down and you can get at them easier. Main thing about the fronts is that they tuck behind the trim for the mirrors

Coming together mate. Glad those bolts worked out.. I'll store that one in the memory banks

Sorry you've not had any replies mate, it's not as busy as it used to be, but I normally try to check every few days but been a bit busy recently.

It's been a while since I did it, but I think I just used some plastic trim pry tools to ease them off.. As always warm weather is your friend when old plastic clips are involved....
