gstuart · Apr 2, 2017

well it seemed such a nice day i got bored, lol

so removed the headliner ready to replace the drivers side faulty curtain airbags

put some pics up so it may help anyone else taking this job on

took around 3 x hours to remove

removed the boot locker and passenger seat, as i'm upgrading that to full electric

really enjoy working on the disco , gives me something to do, lol

Fair play, that's the benefit of having the time to do it that way

take your time, do it properly

It's a pound to a pinch of sh ...... salt that he has something left over, even if it's just a washer.

The only bloke I know who waxes the bits you can't see too.

He just slips them in his pocket and says nowt

Fair play Gary, when I put some extra wires in I just poked them up behind the headlining and trusted that Isaac Newton wasn't telling the full truth.

as i took bits out i put the bolts back in there place , am terrible doing things like that

found out the wiring loom is all glued and clipped to the headliner

the alarm box section was all loose , one side needs abit of superglue

as for some reason when the guy across the street started his motorbike sets off my alarm , in finding the alarm sensor that broken off the main body may have caused this ,

with the panels out will allow me to sort all the little niggly bits out , making sure sections are correctly cable tied

am that sad, when i install cable ties i make sure they are all the same way round

yeh i know need to get out more, lol,

Mr S1 · Apr 2, 2017

At least if there's any rattles you'll cure those as well !

Put the bolts back in place?

I do things the old fashioned way, sling them all in a bucket of dirty black paraffin and trust to memory.

And I do concur with your nurse's diagnosis, you do need to get out more!

noticed on some of the headliner clips of small O rings that are missing

so ordered some new one clips for it

as always rather do the job properly and once

noticed some marks on the side panels, will try and use a small tooth brush and cleaner to get them out , if not will get some other second hand panels

memory , what's that that, i keep forgetting in what to remember

dam it, the nurse has said i'm doing well whilst wearing my very special jacket to be able to work on the landy

always get worried when she comes towards me with such a large needle

haven't got to to the stage of lining up the screw heads , YET
