Lots of cleaning of the inner panels surfaces over the last two weeks. Not fun work, but has to be done I suppose :)
Interior was ordered through Winners Products. Code 10x, which is black. Ordered seat skins, new foam, kick panels, parcel shelf, door trims, interior light assembly, and new reclining seat adjustment knobs. Rare Parts, my local Rare Spares stockist, got a few orders for parts, including new eyebrow moulds, wheel arch moulds, new lock sets, some badges, bonnet release kit, and a number of small bits and pieces. Labour during this period: 13 hours Clean and treat inner panels 13hrs

The shell was sent off to be sand blasted. We didn't expect to see it back before xmas, but it was. Thanks guys! The door and boot skins were removed, and cleanup was started. During this time I started working with Leon at A1 High Performance, to organise a new engine.

Quarters were stripped off and cleaned. Front end was removed, as were the diff, fuel tank and suspension.
