Complete interior strip out to commence shortly as i want to tackle any hidden demons (If any) all arches and side skirts will coming off too!  :grin:

Will also probably be ordering new coilovers very shortly as the suspension on at the moment is a fixed height and is too low. Hopefully i will still have a drivers wing after 6 months of rubbing!  :grin:
Blasphemy.

I've bumped my sump too many times now. I've have been very lucky not to crack it, don't wan to risk it any more  :grin:

Here is my latest little adventure.

A few reasons for the strip out.

I need to replace the headlining as it is sagging
Need to rewire all speakers to an Amp.
Need to get the drivers side rear arch looked at as there is a small fold!
Want to check for rust or and evidence of a water leak.

Also it could do with a real tidy up!!

Mess!


Rear seats out


Door cards and rear carpet




All carpets up and sound deadening


Side view


All the sh!t i've removed..


Carpets cleaned and put back in. Also head unit wires have been tidied up.




That's how it stands at the moment as it was too blooming cold to do any more!

I'm thinking to take all my standar lighting items, and going proper blackout on their asses...but i'm not too sure! Think it might be a nice contrast between the White and the Burgundy?  :undecided:
