Hi guys (and gals)
A few years ago you guys here on the forum have really helped me out. Thanks to you my beautiful MK is still going strong! (although not used enough).
I am contemplating one last big trip with her - Simpson Desert! If I don't do something like that, I think I might want to sell her.
Anyway - some things that NEEDS FIXED above anything else:
- something is ratling a lot and I am getting so much dust in. I think it is the side (sliding) windows that are rattling. The frames are entirely rusted so I am not touching it at all. Can I do something to have it stop rattling? (tape). If no good idea: I wouldn't mind have them replaced with non-sliding ones if at all possible. Can someone point me in the right direction? Who can I go to to help me with this - which workshop does sealing of windows and doors for example? I really have no clue where to go - and I know that most of you would do this yourself, but I can't
- so the next thing would be sealing the back glass window (the opening one) and door better. I am litteraly eating dust on gravel. It's too much, not healthy.
- Another one (for now): where can I can new rubber for around the gear stick? It's broken so in addition to getting dust in, I also get a lot of fumes in!
- And the last question: I had to replace the rear window glass 2 years ago because it shattered. I got one from the wreckers and had a friend put it in. But now I don't have a lock on it, not even just the click system to hold it in place, because it comes with the handle and there was none on there. Where can I get a proper lock fit on it?
I hope someone can help me. I am just after some addresses of where I could go (reasonably priced). Brisbane area.
For me this is a matter of: if I can't get these things done, there is no point for me in keeping the car. But.....this car is very precious to me and has brought me all around Australia. I am not ready to let her go and would love to do that one big last trip I've always wanted.
cheers,
Jet
