Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and proclaiming, “DAMN, what a ride!!”
Thanks a lot.

Hi pete don't sell it a serious amount of work you have put in having read your thread I think it would b a shame. Also reading yours an other peoples threads I have come to realise that some of the best cars on here have taken years to assemble and even with every day life bills kids and everything else people still manage to build stunning cars hats of to u rich
Well well well.....
Decided to actually do some work on thsi at the weekend.i had genuinely forgotten tax mot and insurance is due soon.
This is how it went into storage last year!!
So started by tidying up the interior. My original GSi door cards had holees in. Seeing as have no stereo and have no intention of ever having one, i set about sorting them. A local chav racer advertised a ,oad of GSi parts on a local FB group. So, naturally, i fed him some BS about how its worthless and i would take it off his hands!! GSi cards (in a **** state) and an uncut parcel shelf. £20. thanks!
Set about peeling the material away from the uncut ones as the hardboard was shot. I will get some new board and cut new cards then re apply the material.
Old cards with holes...
New ones. No holes but the hardboard is split, broken and damp in places.
Material peeled away..
Gave the material a good hoover and cleaned the lower sections with tyre dressing. Will get some hardboard this week and use an old one as a template. Got some spray glue, just need a way of pressing them together to ensure good sticking. Just need some grommets to fill where the window winders would have been.
Then a simple oil change and new filter, MOT tax sort insurance and drive the wheels off it again!! Did have plans for new brakes, tyres, new rear springs etc to do over the winter, but time and money has prevented this. We are looking to move house in the next few months. Place we are looking to buy has a garage.
More talk than pictures. Will get some more soon.

Nice work on the door cards, shame about the winder holes.

I tried cutting new door cards once, it ended badly. You'll want some more cards & swap material I reckon.
How did it end badly Craig? If you don't mind me asking?
