viking Posted November 11, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2016 even tried to have ago at the window channels, but got to the stage where i thought to myself, if i put the top one in then how do i get the glass in, obviously cant put glass in first or i wouldnt be able to screw it in place Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
viking Posted November 11, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2016 .might replace bottom channel as it looks a bit raggy as it didnt have the hole in it for the window lock, so i had to drill it out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord O War Posted November 12, 2016 Report Share Posted November 12, 2016 I think it was called the quartic steering wheel. It didn't last long as even BL realised they must have been smoking crack to come up with that jem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
