Re: 1974 Dolomite Sprint
Suffering from either being rundown/exhausted or a low lying cold, I didn't have much energy last week to do anything.
Yesterday evening I got a chance to cut off most of the windscreen rubber seal. Quite a satisfying job, especially as I know it leaked badly. There is just enough left on to keep it in until I can get my lovely assistant to give me a hand taking the screen out.
I also started drilling the rivets out of this superb previous repair.
Got half way through that and decided it probably should wait until I've got the screen off before I pulled those plates completely off!

Just take the bloody thing out yourself. I'm use my size nine to push it out from the inside.

Re: 1974 Dolomite Sprint
I'd rather not break it! This one isn't even original to the car and looks an insurance job.
I imagine that windscreen base had something to do with the last one breaking. Hard corner and the windshield letting go into a shower of shards would certainly have been a brown trousers moment.

Re: 1974 Dolomite Sprint
Yes, we are.
The English language is being slowly Americanised.
It started with phrases like 'can I get'.
Hooli says that, but he's from Doncaster.

This is why English is great. It adapts with the times, never static and the people using it have the control.The Reverend Bluejeans wrote: ↑Mon Oct 26, 2020 7:41 pm The English language is being slowly Americanised.
Unlike French where the authorities and academics fight to standardise the language without external influences. Especially that mucky language called English.
I'm glad you liked that one - I had a battle with the auto correct to do that.
