Lol Ile clean it up as it stays wet anyway. It's a stinger when it drops in the eyes Lots of cold water and a lot of swearing. Next time I will be more careful cheers Tom

Ha ha I'll remember that and get some professional swimming goggles for when I do mine lol, that way I will avoid stinging eyes and I will look a real treat as people walk by my garage with goggles on!

Looking great, coming together now, just be careful with rear window rubbers, I bought mine from mini centre and couldn't shut the windows I ended up fitting my old ones, maybe a better batch now. I did contact them but up to now have had no reply.
