    Can't go wrong with schofields. I fitted that outer valance (or possibly it was an autocraft one?), nice panel to fit.

  10. Good afternoon today and a "huge " thanks to @wigelsworth (Jason) for the handy tools and help popping all the windows out and no supprises underneath but on windscreen but that was known as can see !! Allso cut out outer sill and found some well dodgy repairs to the sliding door made a start on the b pillar allso to make sure I line it all up !! The most annoyingly part was there isn't even any paint let alone wax oil behind the sill !! How there not rotten to god knows but the outer was toast !! Basically pulled it off ! But cleaned it up and new one fits bang on no messing required really !! Big day planned tomoz again !!

    Not really any supprises yet but no paint on site on rear of pillar either !! I will never pay cheap guys for works again !! Takes few mins for a lick off paint !!
