Hmmm, anders verkoop je toch de landcruiser.

The car looks perfect, do you still visit this area? If you do and take the cruiser give me a heads up, I love to see it in real life.

Folkert,

That looks awesome! And you did it all very quick too!

I still have the vent door spring in my car. I just don't come across Amsterdam that much and when i do i'm in a hurry...

update of last week work.
Ive done so may things in 3 days, like painting the roof top, installing headliner, repainting the hubs etc etc... too much to tell, but read my posts to get it all.... bj44.wordpress.com

here are some pics to get an impression..

ps. also had some depressive times with my front door weatherstripping i ordered from CCOT... best quality looked good, but was way too thick that I couldnt close my door, whatever i tried... had to rip it off and remove all the glue...
will order OEM now... and forget this whole thing as soon as possible..
