The rear door bin trim and arch carpet (after I made the carpet template) has been fitted, and looking quite good.
The rear seat belts are finally completely fitted with the parcel shelf carpet and speakers fitted as well. The trim under the rear window has been fitted as well as the rear heated window ground, I had to make up that lead. But the old mpi loom helped with that again.
With that all done I was able to finish routing the speaker wire to parcel shelf and just grab the rear seats, which I had given a good clean a few days before, and fitted them for the last time. It was well worth the effort of straightening the metal base and lip. It looked bad and gappy before. A fresh coat of black on that as well brought it all together nicely.
The led lights under the rear seats where fitted as well when I did the speaker wires. All nicely clipped out of harms way.
Really nice to have the car tidy and it should stay that way as well.
In the front, the top dash rail was cleaned and fitted. Attention moved over to the peddle box. All captive bolts and nuts had a tap or die run down them, after it had ... just one more coat of paint!! Proper shinny, thats what we like.
Even after I removed the steering column the peddle box was still being a bit of a pian . Pulling it tight with the bolts into the engine bay helped a lot to get the 2 bulk head bolts in.
Then after a quick look at the clevis pin holes in the peddle ends .... I clearly need to buy some the right size. A local shop had some but a test fit will decide if one or both need trimming to length. Before final fitment. That looks like a royal pain in the butt so looking forward to that!
The boot has been cleared out again and the petrol tank tested. Which just passes the speaker so all is good there and ready for the last few parts to be fitted in there.
The rear speaker wires where fitted to the stereo harness plug.
A bit of time was spent on the gear selector box, cleaning, painting and wiring.
