Good stuff, things gathering pace over the last few months.

On the rear parcel shelf, would it not be easier to go with round speaker grills. Must be easier to carefully mark out concentric circles & drill small holes. As opposed to the complicated rectangular grill shape.

Thanks mate...yes car all coming together very nicely now. It should be out the paint shop next week hopefully and then the fun starts putting it all back together.

Tbh regarding the parcel shelf,i may even do away with the speakers altogether but not completely decided on that yet and yes i see you point about the concentric circle idea...would be alot easier actually!!

Small square area of dirt shows how rotten the whole underside of this headlining was. That's 37 years of dirt,dust and everything else you can imagine. Amazing what a good hoover can do... (14/04/2015)

Last of the door cards all sprayed... (14/04/2015)

Don't think it's going to look that bad once the dash mat is fitted properly...
