Got the front/rear screens in, re-used the rear screen rubber as it is still in good condition but replaced the front with one of the silicone rubber ones from viva 2300, its a great fit & has a slightly larger overlap which means it sits nicely on the corners, us HB owners know only too well that the top corners tend to drop into the rebate, here's a pic or 2
it was a bit of tight fit to get in so I will be surprised if it leaks

coming along slowly, bit more fitting up done, built the doors up, bit of a fiddle replacing door glass as you need to fit at the same time as the quarter light glass frame so an extra hand or 2 is welcome for that, replaced wiper, heater box, rear quarter glass & various other small items, not far to go now

12 months mot as of this morning, more or less done, couple of bits of trim to go on & a bit of touching up on the paint. not running great but that's probably due to the petrol being a couple of years old
