Most of it is simple (Did it on my 12v), just finding wires and adding them in etc.


Cool, think I'll go for it then, doesn't sound too challenging , just need to get the passenger seat out then get the carpet up and tackle the loom.

The seat will be a job on its own with no grinder

Cheers for the info

, I have a nut splitter in the shed will try that from underneath but I don't think it will work tbh, hammer and chisel might solve it

Good idea! I snapped the weld off the bottom of the car on one of my seats and had to grind it out was fun until the carpet set fire

You were lucky to have a grinder, if I had one it'd be off in seconds ,

Done a bit more today, not much but I'm getting there

Everything interior wise is out of the red one now except for door cards and the back rest, can't budge that bloody nut in the middle

Took a hammer and chisel to the bolt that had the broken torque bit and the broken bit flew out , result!



Is it these wires I need then Alex? The bunch that is running under the handbrake.



Tomorrows job is to clean this, going to attack it with the pressure washer.



And a little taster

Went to the pound shop today and got some cleaning stuff for the carpet, total cost was £3

I put some more soap on the passenger side before I took the pics is what the marks are, just wanted to make sure considering how dirty it was



The whole carpet now looks like new

Put the mirrors on for now to, red mirrors ftw?



I think tomorrows job will be to tackle the loom, need to speak to my dad about a few things first though

Yeah was going to say make sure you put the 60mm ones on the silver one. Also I know you cant use the red one. What exactly cant you use? Just the shell? Cant you just strip it to bare shell then scrap it or whatever needs doing to it ?

Started late today due to lieing in bed most of the day

Didn't get much done tbh, finally got the rear back rest out, which meant I could get the rear door cards out as well, so thats everything out of the interior out now

So moved on to the suspension, got the rear springs and shocks out and then came in as it was too cold

My only pic for the day, like my axle stands



I plan on having all the suspension fitted to the silver one tomorrow, and wheels
