Progress update - Pop out rear windows.

This took some guts! Had to cut the (already painted) pillars to insert pop out brackets!

Well its done now, i am sure it will be worth it! This is the left hand side.

Takes a determinant man, to cut up his expensive paint job, with the hope of making it better.

But you have made it better, and you will be happy that you done it.

Nice work

Pop outs - progress report.

Huge relief! Appears to have been worth the trouble.

Primed and ready for paint shop. Hold thumbs we don't get any blending lines.
