I need to order a new striker for the hatch too (its not rust its dirt attracted to the waxoyl)

Fitted my new plastic clips to the deluxe trim, but still no joy, I wish I'd bought the originall Alloy one now but its too late now, think I'll contact the supplier & they can sort me out!

Not done much to Milly lately cos I've been busy with my new job & been away most weekends with her, I've fitted Stainless Steel wipers & wiper arms & a new Campmobile sticker, I've had a photoshoot in her which I'll tell you about again. I also had a puncture in the front driver side wheel, thats been repaired now. I'll just put a load of pictures up for you to see. Here is Milly at Bank Farm when we all went camping there:-

Also been to Stanford Hall where I entered the concours d'elegance I didn't do too bad apparently over 100 is good, I lost out marks because of the non standard wheels, poptop material & the interior cloth, the only thing is they look too nice to replace so I'll have to live with them:-
