This Saturday (22 April 2017) my Mk3 is leaving me
14 years into my 2-year restoration project, my garage will be very clear once again!
But fear not! This is a major leap forward, for it will take a relatively short journey through the Fens up to Spalding where it will receive a glorious new coat of paint and once again become a Yellow Peril
To celebrate I just bought a new set of bumpers from the the club, and some Tex wing-mirrors off eBay, which will be here when it gets home
Whilst the car is away i will take the opportunity to clear the garage out completely and re-organise. The many shelves of spare Gilbern parts will be dispatched to eBay no doubt.
Next purchase - a car cover - the kids bikes will not be allowed anywhere near it!
Big day cometh!

From one "Yellow Peril" to another, well done!
I look forward to hearing about how you put the glass back, if it's out - I've taken my front screen out to do the wiring, and I'm not looking forward to refitting it!

I have found a practical alternative for working behind the dash is (an old bathroom cabinet door) mirror laid on the screen, lets you see what you are doing from inside. Ok, has it's limitations but makes some jobs possible in hours, rather than days. Dash top is removed using rachet right angle screw driver.

Good tips!
Bit too much work needed to use them this time, but good for the future!
