fitted the bench seat, looks ok, little bit too much stuffing on the passengers side, but i can live with that.

That seat looks good. Sometimes those off the shelf kits aren't 100%. Better than paying thousands to have someone make bespoke ones though. Mine weren't perfect, but after a few miles and a few arses in them, they're settling down nicely. A bit of extra padding can only be a good thing in the long term. Last thing you want is for them to look saggy after a few years.

finished the rears today, a whole lot easier to do than the fronts. Just reused the old foam and such, but padded it out a little bit with some more of the cotton padding stuff. Looks and feels a lot better than it was. Just waiting on a new headliner and should be ready to go with all the rest of the interior.

I've heard that its not easy...also not something I'm looking forward to doing. Plenty photos Chris give us something to reference to

bloke that owned the car before put a new one in and said it wasnt that hard. i just wished he had gone with a black liner and not the beige thats in there now. I Am going to attempt doing it without taking the windows out, mainly because thats costly also because the previous owner did it without and it looks fine

Fair play. Headlinings are always fun. At least it'll be black and not show up mucky finger prints!

Got new shocks fitted today by a mate of mine (same guy who painted Jons Orange 72 Charger recently) Top bloke, and did it in record time. Think it was only 30 minutes between ramp up and shocks on. Sits so much nicer now and glides over any little bump. The rears were so shot i could squeeze them with no effort. Fronts were pretty ok, think they were replaced recently, they were also KYB but they were white and not grey and were smaller.

Got a bit of a leak, thought it was transmission again, but its the power steering pump this time. Rebuild kit ordered, as well as a new speedo cable, old one was pretty shot.
