[AlexW]

Then i started to strip the interior as i wanted to make sure the shell was good before i dropped the 1.6 into it!!

Started to take the dash out as i want a mk2!!! Only problem is i cant get the rest out

so that now sits in the back of the motor

2nd was to spray the carb with some lovely carb cleaner (smells well nice)

3rd was to get the front seats out what an absolute nightmare kicking, banging, pulling, pushing all went on around my garden last night then we found these little clips that once they were taken out the seats slid back and off (i did consult the Hayens but that book was only aware i had back seats said nothing about the front)

Then it was time to lift the carpet and hope for the best
