UPDATE

Bit of an update, some from today and some from last week when we picked up the car, but didn't have much time to do anything/post on here.

So, yes, we got the car back... hooraaah!

The day it came back I managed to get things like the padding, carpet, rear seats, rear shelf and rear quarter interior trim sorted. I also managed to clean up the insides of the passenger doors so I could get some waxoyl in there.

Seeing as I was off today, once I had the important stuff sorted I was able to put in the driver seat, get the CD changer wires fed down the inner sills into the boot, fitted the rear wing aerial mount, removed the glove box to re-route the wires round properly, sorted the dodgy central locking wire which had come off the plug, put back the sill trim and footwell trim, cut out and replaced the side repeater wires as they were a bit too corroded, fitted the new side repeaters and put the rear head rests back in.

I then decided to get a couple bits in the bay sorted seeing as it wasn't going to rain and now was my chance.

Quick shot of before


And after a bit of messing around


Spot the difference!

Managed to clean up and spray the manifold with very high temp. paint and let it dry. I then, as best I could, cleaned up the rocker cover and head and gave that a coat with very high temp. paint aluminum finish. A few little areas could do with the same treatment but it was dark and getting a bit too cold to be doing this, so I called it a day.

Left to do - passenger seat, driver side doors to be cleaned and waxoyl'd, fit the rest of the dash and centre console, wire up the oil & volt gauges, fit the rear wheel well trim/carpets and other boot trim, fit headlamps washer/wipers, re-paint the wiper arms and fit the new blades, fit door cards and that's about it. Only issue I have is that I've seemed to have misplaced a few of the nuts and bolts that hold the rest of the interior trim in place. Soon as I find it then it'll be sorted... hopefully tomorrow.
