Haha. I think I will be staying in the WWD camp for a while yet mate. Hopefully she will treat me as well as I treat her.

Just started on it today Mark, got the whole interior out to give it a good clean, and to assess the condition of the floorpans, inner arches etc. All good, thankfully! I will be repainting the floor in etch primer and then body colour to keep it tidy, will wet vac the seats etc and carpet before I refit them, and give the dash a damn good clean. The removal process was slow going in places. Working out which way to prise the brittle, impossible to find plastic components.
It's a good condition car, but has fag ash in little crevices etc and just general grime on the steering wheel, door handles etc. So it will be good to get rid of all that.
Whilst out, I intend to have the bolster wear on my drivers seat repaired by having another panel sewn in. The material is impossible to find, but I have a plan. Canabilise another rear seat. The plain section in the middle of the upright should be just the job I reckon, then hopefully it won't cost much to have the seat repaired with it.
After that, I will be concentrating on reneweing all of the bushes and braking components. I am just busy collecting parts for that atm, and finding out what's what with regard to buying the correct stuff.
Cheers mate.
Ah well. Top weekend full of these kinds of the shenanigans though.
