Don't suppose you can collect in person from Rimmer's? I was tempted by green tint, but only if I could do all the windows. I've got green Perspex sunvisors to go in at some point.
yep they have a trade counter |

You can get film to alter the colour of standard glass Andy, I had all the windows on the Fury tinted Merc blue to match the front screen. Cost me about £180 for 4 window and done in about 2-3 hours while I waited . Shade Ace in Southampton. |

Is that Landrover screens in Staffs Dave? Is a 2CV screen as wide as a Pop one?
Only tempted by the green glass Kev. As I said, I've got green sun visors to go in at some point.

Looks like a trip to Cannock in the next couple of weeks then.
Finished wiring the interior light, piggy backed off the live feed to the normal light switch.
Painted the inside of the roof with a coat of Ku Rust, followed by a generous smear of seam sealant around the welded joints. Once that's dried tomorrow I'll slap a coat of zinc primer on it. That should weather proof it.
Couldn't find a handbrake gaiter base plate so ordered a sheet of 2mm aluminium from Ebay for 3 quid & will cut my own.
Started cutting mounting tabs for the sun visors.
All small jobs but need doing. I'd like to get the interior as complete as I can by the Spring, although the exposed metal surfaces will still need spraying green when the body comes off next Winter.
Water's been bubbling up through cracks in the concrete workshop floor for the last couple of days. We thought it was the result of the almost continual rain we've had here in Hampshire -but we learnt this evening that a water pipe's burst behind the workshop. Someone's gonna get a shock when they get their water bill.

Today's my birthday but, being a single guy, I had no-one to celebrate it with. So I spent the afternoon at Loon's workshop as usual -but his Mum had baked me a birthday cake & they'd bought me a present -thanks guys, I appreciated it.  The offcut of aluminium I bought from Ebay arrived this morning, so I cut a base plate for the handbrake gaiter. Needs wet n dry sanding & polishing, but should do the job. |

Had to fight off the workshop cat, who was determined to get in on the cake action -open the cake tin, cut a slice, hold slice of cake in one hand & wriggling Moggy in the other -how do I shut the tin again before she nose dives into it? It is indeed a jolly nice cake. I fear it won't last long.
No electricity at the 'shop this afternoon & still a burst water main, so no progress today.

 Sorry Dave -all gone. I'm so fed up with getting soaked every bloody day, delivering the Mail. Another drenching today -howling gales & ice cold rain. I've been wet & cold almost every day for months now.  So I took the afternoon off today & came home to dry out. Spent half an afternoon yesterday making 4 brackets. 2 pieces of 4mm plate welded together, (I didn't have any 8mm plate), then ground to shape & drilled & tapped to M4. Nothing exciting -they just hold the sun visors, but I'm trying to get all the jobs around the roofline done. Because the windscreen's only 7" tall, I can't use normal visors or I'd end up with a strip about an inch wide at the bottom of the screen to look through. So I'm using these green perspex ones, designed for Minis & bought from Ebay a year or so ago. They're a bit flimsy though, so I'm replacing the 3mm thick plastic with slightly bigger 5mm ones -so really they were an expensive set of hinges! Note the interior light!
