The odd coin still appears.

The rot does appear localised... so hopefully just 2 bits of strip required - but as soon as the wire brush comes out who knows.

I had a nice trip planned to Essex yesterday to get better doors... but the guy pulled out so just got a cab mat (which was also arranged)

Been putting things back together today. With the battery connected - it starts... (but not tried anything else yet). I put the 56 plate harness in - which has everything the limited did ex except AUX in - so need to find a standalone wire. I did try pulling it out of the limited harness but it goes al the way across via the phone unit.

2 of the heater duct pipes were swines... must have spent the best part of 2 hours on just those today

Unfortunately the limited spec fabric seats are absolutely mining - so some Tomy seats are going in. They just need a quick going over with the upholstery cleaner.

My question now is - change the headlining or not

The cab headlining can be stretch carpeted over with anthracite and looks lovely. But some new fur tree clips, remove the lining,glue the carpet on and fanny is your aunt. :D

I have 3 headlinings to choose from :lol:

This one is grubby and smells of dog - one of the others is somewhat better

Needless to say the one in the van is different than the other 2 because of the alarm.

I can't be bothered cutting holes - so out comes the upholstery cleaner.

Can you tell which bit I have done?

Ooh while the headlining is out - is it worth relocating the reciever?

I've never thought about it or felt a need
