Excel door card removal? - help
ChrisJ replied to Zeb's topic in Interior/Exterior/Lights/Glass/ICE/HVAC & Other
Look for small screws around the edges. There's also a screw in the door handle itself. They are fairly obvious once you know what you are looking for. I'll just go and check my car. Edit to add: Just checked - I have two underneath, one at the rear, and the one in the handle. My car is an 89, and the screw at the rear is very obvious, whereas I can't see it on your door. Just run your fingers underneath, you should feel them. I think you pull out from the bottom, and then lift vertically (It's been a few years since I last removed the door card). Further edit - must read -
Lovely looking car.

Gonna be a cracking car once sorted What's on the cassette? Just to add to the tyre options, I went for 205/55s -
Totally believable - I had an Excel from 1991-1994, and I only have 2 photos where it happened to be in the background when taking insurance photos of my Esprit.

We need to park in the red area. If you are not in a Lotus, I'd suggest you park in the blue area (and pretend you are here for golf). The mollie van is normally parked where the yellow mark is. Please don't linger around it and don't use any seats/tables as they are for the golfers. For those new to the venue: the location website is here and the address is: Bedwell Park, Essendon, Hatfield, Hertfordshire AL9 6HN Watch out for the speed hump at the entrance. Drive up the hill and turn left before you get to the big house. Follow the road round the house and -

Food is ordered. I'm paying and collecting the lot, so please bring £4.50 for a sandwich, £2.50 for a sausage roll - and exact money please as I won't have any change. Either bring your own Tea/coffee/drink, or you can get them from the van - I couldn't pre-order these as not everyone will pitch up at the same time. -
Zoomed in - there looks like some weird photoshopping going on

The Sainsbury's delivery guy said all the shops around his one are rammed with long queues - yet they all do home delivery.

@OnlyLotusforme - you are now on the list as someone else is coming in a Porsche so won't be in the 22 cars allowed for. -

Thanks @Painterdave - a porker - well that's you definitely ruled out I suppose you could always park in the main car park and wander on down to the one we will be in, people will think you've come for a game of golf @phil flash looks like you've made it onto the list -

Just heard back from Essendon - and we have been asked to cap it at the number on the list as of my 12:57 post on Wednesday. I thought that they would ask us to reduce the numbers so this is a great result.
