Deon, all I can say is; "enjoy"
And couple of tips, if you think you need to take a little longer on something to get it right then you might as well.
Most importantly, make sure you have some shiny things on it when you finish..

Just asking.... tell me to go jump if ya like......................
But you are doing all that prep work, why dont you pop the windows ???
Then you can cray underneath rather than taping??
Futue te ipsum!!!
Bizarre, I was thinking the same thing. Nothing worse than crusty little paint edges around the windows.
Maybe they dont want to pull the interior, but they could always just mask the windows up to save the headliner.

C'mon kids gather round,
there's a new sensation hitting town,
It's moving straight, low to the ground,
it'll pick you up when your feeling down.
u and ur bloody knee deon hopeless!!! i will have to show caitlin see what she has to say ahahahahaha got anymore recent pics? get ur front end sorted oh the joys of sticking in new front ends ( i just built my lowered beam and am rebuilding everything oh it sucks but will be noice when done!)

hahaa nah im not going to tell you to jump we are popping the windows soon just hadnt got round to that yet, there is a trade qualified panel beater showing me the way, iit is his shed and he has other jobs so i share the shed witch means that i have to move the bug into another shed where there is birds and they would have nested in there if i had taken the windows out earlyer
i hope that clears that up fweeeeeew
oh yeah and i got new seals and other windows going in
deon

And i thought 9 months for my car was bad!! thats a whole new level!!
i know the work required to strip and paint. But they do look nice when they are all shiny and stripped.
Customer service is not dead in Australia.
Always after HAZET & MATRA & VW factory tools
thats why i love being able to do everything myself,,,,,,can only blame myself.......the hardest part is getting the money out of myself for the job ,,,,may have to bash myself up lololol
