fog-allan 30 Posted January 26, 2017 Report Share Posted January 26, 2017 Hi everyone...after 3 years of membership I suppose I better introduce myself to keep using the forum. Got my 98 highline 4 years back and since then it's had nearly every bolt undone/cleaned/renewed over 2 rebuilds. Currently still in garage, on rebuild number 2 ( all the things I missed/couldn't afford first time round!). Pregnant Wife and a 2 year old make this list rather large! Down in Stranraer SW Scotland so well out of way. Anyone swinging by or catching boat drop me a line (I work on it) kevleed and VR6Pete 2 Link to post Share on other sites

fog-allan 30 Posted January 26, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2017 Cheers Pete, thank you. I really should have been more active up until now. I've learnt a wealth of knowledge from being a vr6oc member and should be trying to put something back! Maybe a build thread once I get it all together again.

fog-allan 30 Posted January 31, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2017 Thanks very much, more progress yesterday, unfortunately due to work family I only manage 1 or 2 days each month so it's been slow. Rear arches cut, welded, sealed. Link to post Share on other sites

fog-allan 30 Posted March 2, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2017 Update- windscreen out this week, took my time with some 0.6mm mig wire and two handles (spanners). Screen had slight leak so needed to investigate. Found this! Thankfully in nick of time. Anybody have an input to the best way to clean and prep before I put screen back in? Was thinking wire wheel, rust treatment then primer...? Link to post Share on other sites
VR6CABBS 1,311 Posted March 3, 2017 Report Share Posted March 3, 2017 Yep I'll go with that. Take it right back and remove as much as you can then a few rust treatments before a couple of coats of black primer. Link to post Share on other sites
fog-allan 30 Posted March 3, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2017 Thank you, a second opinion is always reassuring! I'm doing most things as a first time so little unsure sometimes.. Link to post Share on other sites
fog-allan 30 Posted May 11, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2017 Progress update... Windscreen, roof lining and trim all back in.. Was definitely a lot easier getting lining out, not a job I'd be in a hurry to repeat! Slight issue with screen height, my scuttle panel doesn't quite seal with the screen? Anybody any thoughts on a fix for this? Seal sits about 3mm proud of actually contacting the screen! Not enough height on windscreen sealant but it's in now so it will be staying put.
