8vMatt 1 Posted December 1, 2009 Smart work on the brakes mate. You really are going to town cleaning, tidying and painting bits while your waiting for the paint. Wish I could get the same sort of time to do bits on mine. There's a growing list I've got to do. I've got the handbrake plastic for you but not had a fight with the door to get your doorpin rod out yet. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

C488ADO 0 Posted January 16, 2010 got some pics of robs 'beasty' lol went over there to look at taking a few bits out of the interior ready for the paint shop and ready to take he new leather interior from moi!!! got to laugh as rob kinda shit himself a bit when i started to rip it all out!! the carpets have seen better days ...............but they are in absolutly amazing condition once in the washing machine they will come up like brand new. took out all the cloth interior which i think will be up for sale very soon , it is also in very good nick (apart from the useual fart stains) just needs a clean and again this will be in exeptional condition. thats it from me i better let rob do some talking!! cheers Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
robrado974 1 Posted January 16, 2010 thanks for postin pics up bud. as above you can see we removed the interior today well nate did most of it!.all them wires n mess everywhere i was startin to s##t meself a bit.be nice to put it back together properly ,there were loads of screws just spinin in there holes n wires not fitted right ,from where work has been done in the past.also when we got the carpet up the floor was covered in glass ,must have had a break in at some point. we also found the fan seal had gone because the sound proofin stuff on the floor was ringin wet n it stank!,so will be sortin that next week. carpets goin in washin machine for a good clean aswell. not worth cleanin headlinin or anythin else yet as it will get messed up in the sprayshop.thanks to nate for today. the leather interior is going to sweeeet as :salute: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
