Spent the last two nights messing with my old girl.... Got fed up fixing other peeps cars - mainly my sons as he has done a big bumper conversion with side trims & replaced his rocker cover gasket etc etc etc....

Rear Turrets now overlaid with the earlier Carpet Covers from a Valver That I'm breaking at the mo... Nothing major I just think they look better & I was upgrading the parcel shelves with better ones so made sense to do it all at once....

Whilst doing this I noted that Stevie Wonder had wired in the Amp - so decided to tidy it up and put it where the OEM Loom is - Under the carpet properly... But then had the notion to do what Mr Blue suggested with hiding the Amp behind the rear Door card... So thought I'll have a bash...

Door Card Off...

Amp Bracket;

Amp On Bracket;

Bracket Fitted;

Door Card Refitted - PITA...;

Rear Seat Fitted;

Seat Bolts Fitted;

Also over the last few months I have been replacing all the switches with Brand New ones - along with new stalks...

All Frigging Expensive Mind You!!

This is how they must have looked when the cars left the factory - Minus the VDO's...

She's just back from the Body Shop....

Had the roof painted along with the bumpers and the tailgate handle - all parts that weren't done when the original respray was done - due to the costs & lack of cash...

I've used a different firm this time - But the work look's excellent - Lets see how it lasts!!

Whilst In The Paint Shop!!
