thanks alot buds,much appreciated! :thumpsup:

ok thought id post more of and update on the status of the car...
i have recently put a new front windscreen,mounted and fitted the alloy radiator and thermo fan,painted,cleared and stuck all the badges on,heat wrapped most of the dump pipe and manifold,put all the window moulds back on and fitted new radiator hoses..the car is almost ready to go up for sale in the next few days :( ..

Image Image Image Image Image Image Image Image Image Image Image Image Image Image
all thats left now is to clean her up properly and put it for sale...

update on my daughter is the surgeons have had several tests and are pretty certain of a full recovery,obviously waiting on more bloody money though..but very good news and i hope to follow them shortly. :thumpsup:

You can usually get them off by pouring some methylated spirits onto them and letting the double sided tape soften up, then gently lift them with a scraper.

i just heated them up quickly with a heat gun,then used a plastic applicator and ran it behind the actual double sided tape..i was scared they would break but luckily they didnt..
