    Carpet and trim in, Front passenger seat and seat belt stalk in, Aerial done, headliner finished as NOS A post finishers on. Rear door card started as drilled in the door ready to put on, unfortunately the central locking has stopped working so I have to sort that before attaching any door card. Last rear door seal found and on. I've been waiting many years to put that NOS Ashtray in

    Maybe John. Some forward, some backwards. One of the carpet trims is from a Maestro, so too small. Never noticed or even thought about it. Have now found the original and cleaned that up ready to go on. Lastly, the glove box hinge painting was going great till I ran out of black spray so used an old one i had, that reacted to the previous paint. Start again with that

    And been experimenting with an old sunvisor to find out if I can change the fabric colour, its not finished and very rough as i didn't mask anything up, but I believe i can do this if needed as the headlining is a little lighter.

    Finding all screws, handles and sunvisors in a bag. And they're all there. NOS aerial waiting to go on. There are also 2 types of sunvisor clips. The straight push in and the up and over. I will be putting those in as the straight push in kept coming out and they redesigned it, also the rear arch trims will need cleaning

    Oh yes John and it finally moves under its own steam, happy days but with only a handbrake that was exciting. Also been sorting various things for the interior. Aerial only has one hole so that to drill and tap. Thought I'd lost my original but found it later and luckily it has two screws. Door card steady brackets have now all been put on, taken awhile to find the gromits etc. and will have to remove again but I need them on for now to line up the door cards
