Re: Door handle replacement

Didn't think it'd be too complicated to be fair Wayne. Was just hopeful anyone whose done it before would have handy little tricks like you've suggested to save myself getting in a mess.

I did a thing.. Bought that "modified" rear wing that's been floating around the club and took it back to basics. Didn't want to butcher my PZ wing so bought a stock boot lid and went from there. I think it looks much better personally but hey.. I'm an accountant! https://uploads.tapatalk...

I will see where the engine is at in terms of compression tomorrow, ignition is clearly knackered so possibly original coils and the starter sounds original too. IMG_...
