Yeap Eddie has summed it up pretty well there. I keep them most of the time until it gets too scary then I just don't look any more.

I keep mine in boxes.

I have a spreadsheet for the camper for valuation purposes.
It's incredibly depressing, I could have had another foot of gold ingots on the granny annexe walls for what it cost.

He’s 12 and needs to start to understand how things go together. Good father / son bonding too. He’s a great lad.

That allowed me to empty the cr@p out of the 912, so that went from this

While we were building the shelf unit, FedEx arrived and dropped off the replacement window seal, so once the garage was clear, I got onto it!

Then spent way too long and with too many swear words, fitting them.

If you a reading this, thinking you might do the same - because you were dropped on your head as a child, a masochist or just like me, skint and bloodyminded, I worked out how to fit it easily after swearing and sweating after the first.

Depending on whether your married, dating or a cheap old bugger like me; take the rubber lube of your choice (that’s KY to you younguns, washing up liquid to the really old or WD40 for me) and liberally apply it to the rubber and the hole you are aiming for.
Instead of being a tight, frustrating, high friction fit, the rubbers will um… slide right in!

Another thing, put the upper screw from the lower set first and then the rest. Make sure the window will close and align itself and then tighten up the hex heads.

While I was messing around in the back, I found the roll cage remnants. And it wasn’t pleasant, standing on these buggers either!

Next job is to be the back bumper accident damage, that was going to be started last weekend.

I’m also dreading taking the purple haze from the rear window.

Looks like I will need new door seals, once I get it painted.
