I had a go at re trimming a door card cause both my front ones need doing again. This was my first attempt and was a bastard to get right around the arm rest. Name:  20140726_090804_zps132eded2.jpg

It was easy to do and it gave me great satisfaction. It makes the interior look so much better.

My heaters are ok its the radiator fans that didnt kick in. The fuse looked ok and the connector was ok. I will have a look at it when I get time. The car drove home faultless for the 200 miles. The old girl never missed a beat.

Wow cant believe its been over 2 years since Dick turpin took my car into his bodyshop.

Just cant thank Gaz enough really. The arches/paint work are as good as the day it left Gaz.s.

I havent done much to the car really. The osf tyre on my focus rs rims kept going down. I found the inner sidewall to be split.

The next job was the door cards. Ive been looking on ebay for years and the price of a good set of door cards are over 200 quid.

So i bought some vinyl to retrim mine. The hardest part is to get the vinyl to go around the arm rest. So i thought cut it off and retrim it separate.
Grotty baggy door card.

Thanks. Its also got 5mm spacers on the rear to space the wheels out slightly.

At the moment ive got my standard wheels on the cossie. The car will be off the road soon so it will only be sat in the garage.
