Depending on how well there stuck, I'd try leaving it in the sun on a hottish day & try peeling them off when the sun heats them up "or" you can try a heat gun. Just be careful not to burn the paint though.Quote:

Top rear tailgate struts are rarer than , well top tailgate struts
Hard to get goodies and probably just as cheap to get regassed
The plastic rear window handles, rarer than a 40 year old virgin
Clutch master cylinder $40-$50 on evilbay for a newie, why stuff around with a 2nd handie ???
Clutch slave cylinders arent much dearer , again buy new
Im surprised the ol diesel went , being so long not started, did you replace the fuel filters ???
If ya didnt , it would be high on the priority list
The old diesel can be a stinker if a tad of age ???
Back from camping got loads of yabbies and a great feed of reddies :D Paul dont know about the wall I mostly stay at camp with the kiddies and cook the yabbs are only going at night at the moment. Mad yes before we go any were to far in her there will be a new fuel filter go in along with new oil and oil filter and flush out the raidiator ect, will def check out ebay for clutch cyilenders if I can pick em up that cheap new lol thanks :) Heading back over on the weekend to do a little more work on the rust so I'll keep the updates coming. Cheers
Just picked up a new master clutch cylinder of ebay for $45 deliverd Cheep! :) I see there are mirror heads on there too that I'm looking for $40 new in black or chrome havent got those yet tho thought Id get the clutch soughted, change filters and oil, and flush out the cooling system first, but first things first I need to get rid of some bloody rust! (well just the major rust anyway for now) Then after all that maybe hopfully I can bring her home on a permit.
Sorry was bit busy last weekend. but can have a look this weekend for mirrors.
Tim
