all window rubbers have been replaced inc the 1/4 window rubbers and outer door scraper trims/rubbers,they have been aged to match the car.
the door panels have been of,new door cards made with the old material fitted,doors waxoiled inside and rebuild making sure windows are greased and working and doors open shut as they should.
both door bottom door pins have been changed for correct NOS pins as they were noisey and a bit stiff.
front end has steering stops fitted so the wheels dont rub the inner arches even on full drop.
the air ride has been set up with a fail safe,if the air fails the car can still drive and turn without rubbing/catching anywhere.the car sits higher than before slightly BUT the fail safe is a must,saftey first and foremost.
its not about the outside look its more important about the bits you DONT see.
new tyre well panel welded in and detailed to match in
fuel tank been repainted and detailed to look old
everything removed,cleaned and detailed but not going to far with the detail!
