Great to hear about your Wimbledon White fastback. Love your approach to restoration, keeping it in service and using it a lot. My last three things on my list include addressing a PS leak, getting the AC working again and dealing with a carb issue. Once those are resolved, my whole list will be complete and it will be a lot easier to drive often without hesitation. Have a great summer.

@@Paul355c I got very tired of maintaining the steering, so I installed a rack and pinion system 15 years ago, along with a beefy sway bar and stiff springs. Keep up the good work and make nice videos. Next, I will work on paint chips. It was repainted once, in 1986, after a minor fender bender. It had chips I have been tending to all along the door spear, but it's time to do a better job, as you did. Thanks for the inspiration!

Hey, thanks for the comment. I went back with the factory color of Beluga Black. I had the paint shop look up the formula. It doesn’t really have any metallic so it’s more a version of gloss black with a hint of pearl. Safe travels.

Thanks for the helpful info

Matt! It’s fun that you found this video. It was great meeting you as well. You and the Houlton Airport team were great and hospitable. I hope you’re happy with how things went. It sure seemed like a success to me. Have a great weekend.

@@Paul355c Thanks. Yes, it was a great day. Exceeded all expectations for sure. Totality was amazing! I’ve seen partial before, but totality is exponentially another level!

Thanks for the comment. I’m glad you had success for the event!

Ha! I didn’t think anyone was paying attention. I completed that task months ago and I just need to cobble together the video and get it published. The finish turned out pretty good as a 10-foot car, if you know what I mean. Thanks for poke. I’ll try to work on the vid soon.

Much appreciated. I love watching your videos and you have inspired me to restore my 1993 Range Rover Classic. All the best - Mason @@Paul355c

Hello. I wish I could provide some advice. I also had some puffiness but since I had two vehicles to make one, I just picked the best two from the four. They were probably a 7.5/10 in terms of condition. Good luck with your project.

Hi. Yes I prepped like the floors. I think I used a satin rustoleum enamel rattle can. I need to rewatch the vid as there a quick clip of me spraying. Maybe we can see the car label. :)

Thanks for the comment. Yes I ‘shot’ compressed air in multiple holes until it all came out dust-free. I’m not sure but some of those parts might be galvanized so not likely to rust. However, I need to research that because I’m not sure. Good luck with your coupe!

Hello. Thanks for comment. Unfortunately that was about 20-years ago and I never made a parts list. However, I did all my retail purchases from www.vintagejeepparts.com/ And I found that guy to be nice and helpful. I hope you have a fun project to work on.

Hi Adam. I’m happy to talk on the phone. Would you be able to share your cell or email and we can exchange phone numbers?

@@Paul355c trying to send my number and email but I’m guessing youtube is restricting it?

@@Paul355c if you have an idea how to get in touch please let me know because TH-cam won’t allow me to send info

@@Adam_J_ClarkI wish I knew. Sometimes I see people use words to express their phone numbers such as ‘I can be reached at three six four, one nine seven six two three zero

Hi Mike. Thanks for the comments. I’m happy to give you the door panels if you could just cover shipping cost. I’ll look for a box that would work for them. Let Me know your zip code sometime so I can find out about shipping. Are there other things you need? I’m happy to sort through my spares.

Hi! I don’t know for sure but in general, plastic is soft so your best bet would be a soft cloth like microfiber and a fluid that lubricated and less like a harsh detergent. I’ve had luck with using quick-detailing spray on plastic. That’s the quick detail spray that would normally be used on a paint finish to clean up between washes. Good luck!

Sounds like great advice, thanks!

you can buff them out with small dremel buffer wheel

@springman1740 thanks for the note. Your Cougar sounds great and it’s fun that you had one before. I love the XR7! I’ll check my radiator soon. Safe travels.

Thanks a lot!

Hello. I didn’t paint the dash but I hear of others doing that. As with most paint, prep is key. It will have plenty of texture already so you shouldn’t need to abrade it much if at all but make sure it’s clean if any oils or vinyl treatments by people in the past. Good luck.

@Paul355c 1 year ago I said New York in the video but I remember now that it was New Jersey. I found then on eBay. Hopefully this link works: www.ebay.com/itm/184727304490?

Hi Grahame. This is probably what I meant by Episode 7 even though I didn't label it. th-cam.com/video/zyBM188IILc/w-d-xo.html

Hello! The rear quarter window was a 7 in difficulty. Some things that come to mind include lubricating the rubber surround to help the awkward install. Maybe use soap or silicone spray. It would also be extra work if you have to address rust in the rough opening. That would be a whole side project that you hadn’t planned for. I don’t remember the exact vendor of the stickers but I got them from eBay. Just search eBay on Range Rover Classic decals. I think the vendor was out of NY or NJ. Your restoration sounds great and you will love one of those blues!

@@Paul355c Thanks. Yea, Im a big fan of silicone spray at this point in Rover ownership. I may just have the body shop do the 1/4's as they will already be doing the front windshield. Thankfully mine was California car and rust free (as much as one could hope for.) Another customer at the interior shop paid $28k for a rusted out 95 softdash....crazy.

Hello. I didn’t paint the brill but I think if you clean it really well and maybe give it a little tooth by rubbing it down with steel wool or a scotch bright pad, it should take some paint with decent results. Good luck.
