Ok, a big weekend of work.
Firstly, I thought I'd have a go at the windscreens myself before I asked for help. The hardest part was fitting the chrome trim. I used an old leadlighting tool to help ease it in.
The screens were much easier to fit than I'd expected. The front one went in very easily on the first attempt. I used a length of medium gauge electrical cable as a drawstring. I think the fact that it was smooth and fairly thick made the whole job much easier.
The rear was not quite as easy, but certainly not too difficult. I could see where a helper was needed here, so I made one myself. He was a good, willing and efficient worker, but somewhat lacking in conversation skills. He was very effective, in that when I pushed the screen from the inside, he slid down the window, locking it in place, sort of like a rachet effect.
The rear screen needs a little more manipulating, but I'll wait for a hot sunny day for that!
Finally, on Sunday, I finished refitting the boot, bolting in the floor panels and cutting a piece of car carpet to fit. I also made new trim cards for beside the rear seat, the B pillars and the front footwell. More on those soon.
