alpine A610 respray

have you been in the pub this afternoon si, your post does read a bit....cranky

well thats the screen out, mirrors still being a pain, managed to get 3 quarter turns with the new tool when it bent these realy are tight but they'll come off eventually

give them a soaking with some pen oil ....and careful now or you'll be after some quarter glass .
Cracking on some there Andy

Aye, they are a pain. Good old MVS rescued my asp when the glass went on mine.

Who is the geezer in the hoody trying to break into the car?

the guy in the hoody is the glass technician he's done a few jobs for me and is very good but it was about -3 overnight and bloody cold this morning i was stood in front of the heater supervising
mirrors..they are slack and moving about they are just stiff on the threds,plenty of lube and a bit of time and they'll be of.

My mirrors were a pain in the rear, I ended up using a wire brush wheel and gave the threads a good clean.

What you doing with the expansion clips on the A post? and the black trim which goes around the door shut?

mirrors just need more carefull attention and they'll be ok. if you meen the roof-windscreen pillar trims the plan is to replace with new ones. i eased the ns one off this morning but it is stuck around the rear quarter glass must be glued. the ns expansion cover fell off when the roof trim was removed, ill have a look at os on monday and see where to go.

well the mirrors finaly came off the other day and seperated the os one but the ns was siezed solid,pins totaly rusted.two days of soaking in wd40 and plenty manipulation and it finaly came apart,got all the repaired panels coated with 2pack spray filler and looking to prime the car monday.
the target painting day is next sunday. i've some up to date pics so ill post them up tomorrow.
