Today was first time I really saw car, spent sometime accessing and looking at it etc but couple of hours work also spent on it and chuffed with purchase and progress.

Rear subframe, steering column, steering rack, steering wheel, hubs etc installed and now sits on its own wheels, except there not as they are borrowed lol
Entire loom then pretty much removed.

Many thanks to stew and bod for working on it with me

Simon

I did consider returning it to standardish spec about 400 and using it daily but the 2door is not ideal for everyday use that I do.

Bit of progress today, fairly pleased.

Loom fully removed - big weight in that lot


Soundproofing removed


Then removed rear wiper and motor which is forsale with rear screen too if anyone wants to retro fit a rear wiper?

Then stew arrived and offered the use of his plasma cutter for the next job on the list

Simon,
Keep the photos coming.
This exciting. It's like a weekly dose of the Beano. I couldn't wait for the next one when I was a kid.
It's like a eastenders for blokes and a practical supplement to top gear.
