Prepping trim

Lots of little bits are underway but not much to show at present.
Having put the carpets down... the have half come back up! The seat belt buckle bolts wouldn't thread in to the floor properly, so had to run the tap through the captive nuts.
Test fitted passenger rear door card and made sure the new route for the loom was ok.  Had to do a little slot in the card for the loom but the card was still a little tight in places, so I trimmed the card in a bit and I'm happy with the fit now.
I realised it was getting close to installing the heater, so dug it out of the loft. Stripped it and painted all the screws black. The rest of the heater components where cleaned and bagged up ready for sandblasting and powder coating.


The foam on the diverter flap inside it was past it's best, I was able to rub off most of it!



The final re assembly was slow but not to bad, a shame the rocker power switch was seized. I striped it and got it working, just a shame electrically I couldn't get it to only make but not brake. Will have to buy a new one, but that can be fitted later and the unit is all good to install.
Today I squeezed in a few short stints and painted another set of boot hinges as the others ones are missing in action. I have no doubt the law of sod will come good and the missing ones will turn up very soon. Only been looking 6 months for them. Still, all done and for a bonus this pair had all the nuts as well. Had to paint the hinge a few times, dam things have so many hidden sections. Lots of little spraying then opening the hinge to expose other parts.
