Doors and bumpers

So after a long day on Saturday, we had a lie in on Sunday then headed up to the workshop.  We had to go via B&Q as we needed a 13mm spanner.  That was easier said than done, we went to the nearest B&Q and found empty spaces, so off we head to Wickes which was nearby, nothing there either.  So back in the car and off to a bigger B&Q, thankfully success there so then it was off to the workshop.

Our plan for the day was to take the rest of the doors and the bumpers off.  Stevie then said let's try and get the window out, so we tried to get that out from the side panel.  After a long time and lots of soapy water, we managed to get it out.


After a cuppa we then tackled the front doors.  It was easier than we had expected given the hassle we'd had with the other door.  The only surprise was the weight of them, not a one person job carrying them about.  


The next task was to remove the bumpers, this was where we needed the 13mm spanner for.  Some of the bolts were so rusty that they snapped, so now we need to find replacement bolts.




While Stevie took off the bumpers Bunchie took off the back lights, indicators and the front grill panels.  

Once that was finished we called it a day and went home having done a good job.
