I think you might be right mate.
Today saw the removal of the shite seats. Rears were easy as they were not held in with anything at all. It's just 2 hooks at the top and two small screws at the bottom FFS. The top of the upright was knackered as per usual.
The front seats were held in by 3 bolts each as opposed to the normal 4 and they were not very tight (which made my life easier). One side had no spacers between the runner and the floor.
Under the passenger seat someone had cut 6 squares of plaster board to size and shoved them under the dropped seat bottom. That is a first in my book tbh.
The rear wheel arch inners on both sides have been patched reasonably well and seem quite strong. Tidying up will be all that is needed.
The rest of the floor was fine apart from the passenger footwell but that was known about. The drivers footwell had a small patch near the tunnel and a bigger section on the actual footwell itself.
Annoyingly the footwell carpets are missing, so I will just cut something to size for now with a view to replacing the lot when all else is done perhaps.
The remaining carpet was cleaned and swept out as best as I could.
I started to swap over the wooden dash sections but couldn't be arsed to take out the glove box inner as I was knackered by now and my back was not good. I think the new dash bits are from a 1500SE, so posh upgrade
Still, the main bits were sorted and the new seats will go in bit by bit and it should be sorted by Weds.
Door panels courtesy of Alun will be cleaned and vinyl dyed before fitting.
