This was spotted down a side street when I was dropping Ben off at school. Never spotted it before, would never have known about it if i hadn't happened to glance that way. I like it when that happens
Battling through rain of almost biblical proportions I took the old seats and trim out. The passenger side seat rails were loose, unfortunately upon closer inspection, it would seem that some numpty has used normal nuts and bolts to secure the rear part of the front seat. I couldn't get to them as the car is parked close to a low wall. I undid the nuts holding the seat onto the rail instead. I ran out of time and will have to replace the passenger door cards on Tuesday. The only thing is that the rear seat upright is sun damaged. Never seen that on vinyl before and is very friable and actually split slightly when I fitted it, as is the parcel shelf. I will probably cover it with a throw/blanket. Not that bothered.
The rest of the seats are really good, as are the door cards. The black vinyl card under the dash was covered with packing tape residue. It also had a dealers plaque from the local (now ex-Rover) garage in Enfield, so it is a real local car. This will now live in LD 'cos it looks nice
I will try and remove the knackered brake cylinder and the clutch master if I have time, if not it'll just have to wait. I think I will try hard to rescue the n/s wing.
The car will never win any shows but it should be a tidy enough thing when sorted.
