A and B pillar plastics for a p38

[MikeD]

Anyone happen to have them lying around.. and want to sell them? heh.. dealership gave me a price of $100 bucks each for the A's and $50 each for the B's. I couldn't find them on Atlantic British.. are there any other online retailers that would carry such a thing? Thanks!

Let me guess Mike, yours has all the fuzz coming off and looks like total crap. Paint them with a satin black rattle can. Takes a little elbow grease and some sticky stuff remover to get all the old sticky fuzz off, then lightly sand with some fine sandpaper, then spray paint.

 

[MikeD]

yah that was the original idea.. i still have sticky stuff on them.. and unfortunately they're a bit brittle.. so a few cracks were formed with the removal process. as well as some of the tabs being cracked off.. so.. i'd rather just buy new ones at this point

 

[AlanB]

That sucks, how about using some Bondo

Give britishrecycling.com a call, they will probably have some.

 

[MikeD]

sick thanks.. i just dropped them an email.. my passanger side window regulator scissor assembly is screwed again... i just replaced it like.. 3 months ago.. and its doing the same shit again.. probably all bent out of wack again.. any ideas? could the metal which holds the rubber be screwed or contorted? its not really accessible

 

[AlanB]

Don't know. Maybe P.T. or Chris might chime in.

Mike - yours might be salvagable if you lightly sand them and then use some enamel paint to help the cracks...guess it depends how large the cracks are though. Good luck. You truck must be coming along nicely

 

[MikeD]

it seems the more i do.. the more stuff breaks heh LR's are fun!

Hey AlanB I like the job you did on those A/B pillars by painting them black, but if it was me I'd also paint the far back ones black to match. When I bought my 97 Vitesse those A/B pillars were the first thing I fixed by using some simple green on them to remove that fuzzy stuff.

Very keen on the pillars and thanks for the Simple geen tip on getting that crap off the panels.

Anyone done the head liner on these yet mine is comming down over the rear seats.

 

[MikeD]
