Pretty much just door cards and sound deadening shite to go.
Oh and sunroof, leccy windows, central locking etc. etc.
Finally back to work tomorrow, so might be able to spend some money on her soon!
Oh and before any clever fecker comments the front seats are now back in.
Toodle pip.

Been a little while since I updated this, so here's a few pics to show what's been going on -
Interior now fully stripped out. All sound deadening gone (what a bitch of a job) and two coats of smoothrite on -

GTiR seats in. Not a direct fit as I was told by the bloke I bought them off, but you live and learn.

Oh yeah forgot to say that it's also just had a new clutch kit fitted, and last week the most important bit of all -

Drivers side is now right, pax seat is still not level, but will probably get chucked eventually, so I'm not going to piss about with it for hours only to then bin it.
MOT advisories (after all the welding was done) consisted of a chip in the windscreen and a note saying there was no back seats.
Result.
 
Haven't updated this for ages, so here goes.
Loads done to the car since last update -
SSC header and downpipe
Decat
Custom cat back
Lowered 40mm on Spax SSX springs with stock dampers
Momo steering wheel
Loads more strippage including air con delete etc.
Finally got it on track at Snetterton, which is only about 1/2 an hour from me. For those that don't know, MSV have spent loads adding a whole new infield section to Snet, and the new layout is mega compared to the old one. Anyway a few pics -

Next jobs include fitting the Corbeau buckets that are in my shed, tidy up the wiring, fit some yellow stuff front pads, and try and work out why I've now got a fucking ABS light on!

Yeah was the 300 circuit. It is the tits, and they've left the bombhole alone as well which is great, as I love that corner.
Took me 3 attempts to seal the sunroof blank, finally did it with an inch bead of sealer all around the joint between blank and roof.
No coilovers unless I find a set v cheap, this is a budget track toy, and for the price people want for second hand coilies I could do 2 more full days.
