No problem, when do you want me to book it in !!!!

but so far have mainly done the mechanical bits, and a few other upgrades, underneath has now all been completed, all sub frame done, and underneath painted, one last job to do underneath and that is to fit the missing lower engine gearbox mount, just waiting for delivery, and will then fit, then I can start cleaning the paintwork, and get the wheels refurbished, Polish exhausts, then it should be done, but you know me, I wont stop until it is at a decent standard.

See you soon

Stu

PS and thanks for all the bits I have acquired from you as well

I lifted up the front of the rear seat (bit you sit on) with a quick jerk and it releases it from the sprint underneath, and then pushed it towards the rear and lifted it out, then undo the seat belt bolts with a T50, remove seat belts, then the back seat, (bit you put your back against), remove the two side bolsters drop it down, push it back and then lift it out of the catch, helps if their are two (one each side), but can be done by one person, and then lift it all the way out., then you can remove the foam rubber, which should just lift out

Hope that helps

Stu

Not quite that easy, had to remove bumper to get them off, as I wanted to clean behind the bumper as lots of dry dirt stuck on the inside, all taken off, and then removed the heat shields with allen key and a spanner, after it had been cleaned re-tightened them back on.

If I bring it out, will be watching you like a hawk. !!!!!!!!
