Now that's a good idea (the fork, I'll reserve judgement on the gold!). I do car restoration work and it saves me a lot of time and damage to have the right tools for the job, but for occasional use the fork thing would be perfect- assuming you survive the spousal abuse when the fork goes missing from the wedding silver :-)

I must admit gold doesnt sound good and I actually dont like gold in general but it goes well with lightstone.
I changed all the black handle surrounds and interior door locks into lightstone as well . Gold and black probably wouldnt go.

My mrs is always loosing the cutlery as she takes it to work but quite often doesnt bring it back, Im even missing crockery but will she admit it.

This thing is really trying my patience today. Just put the card back on after pissing about swapping the latches and it all works... But now it's convinced the door is open all the time. Fantastic.

Oh I'm just a complete moron not reading that it's the REAR door that I had left open. Sat here in the car and the Tourette's is in full swing... And nothing is actually wrong. It's hot.

Right. Time for a drink and then on to the passenger door latch and speaker.

Err...

The passenger side will fly past after a couple of refreshing beers!

Ha, sometimes I wish I drank more.

Passenger side went far smoother without that sodding key barrel rod. I don't get why the slightly later latches have an additional metal arm on them that does seemingly nothing other than make it far more difficult to get in/out of the door cavity?

Pointless questioning these things really when it's clear most of the LR designers of the time must have been pissed on the job anyway! I now have four locking doors, non-squeaky Windows and all my front speakers are the same.

Roll on the next problem!

Lovely thing, hindsight, but the first thing to do is to chop off the vestigial arm- makes installation and future removal so much easier :-) <br>
The next problem will already be on its way- you just haven't noticed it, yet...

Oh yeah I would have done, the replacements from my 96 breaker don't have them though :) the drivers side was also one of Marty's fine replacements, so I should be sorted on the door latch side for quite some time.

People I work with think I'm mad. I probably agree. Today though, all the windows down, comical sport mode engaged, and a bit of heavy foot... I love it. What else at this kind of price can move just about anything, go just about anywhere (you might even get back), and sound that good at the same time?

Centre exhaust section is falling apart... I foresee a bit of pipe replacing it in the very near future.
