    I assumed it was dead also. Looking forward to getting the front seats restored in January and getting to use it loads in the spring/summer

    I've now removed the leather seats and GTE astra steering wheel for refurb.


    Leather Doctor in Ballymoney is doing the work, and should have it all back by the end of the month. He will remove the original surface then recolour them and finish with a matt coating which will hopefully have them looking like new again. The rear seats haven't been sat in and are perfect.

    Leather work sounds good and will be interesting to see.

    Got my seats back from Leather Doctor in Ballymoney - (check him out here - https://www.facebook.com/LeatherDoctorNI )








    Had to strip the interior out, including cage:








    Pulled miles of old sound system wiring out of it.





    Fitted brand new GTE rear quarter cards:





    New Gearstick, gear knob and gear shaft - it's really tightened up the gear change!








    And all done:











    That's it for now, Nothing else to do except fit a headunit, drive and enjoy it, and save for a rebuild in the future.
