Both rear door cards are in but the passenger side had a bit of a trim on 2 sides. Yes, that was peeling up the vinyl I had not long glued back down so I could trim the panel and then re glue it. Joy! But it really was just to tight to go in. Part way through wrestling it in place the first time, the thick noise insulation was winking at me while I struggled to fit the card. That extra thickness had reduced the card space. At least there was a reason I was struggling to do a simple ish job.
I almost finished mounting the rear static seat belts I got free with the front belts a few years ago. I added strengthening plates for the fixing bolts and enough is in place to do a quick test for foaling of the rear seats V the seatbelt fixings.
Lots of templating was done. Templated each rear bin to fit a insulted base and a template to cover the 1/3 exposed wheel arch with carpet. Which needs glueing in before fitting the bin bases.
The rear speakers I have turned out to be to big to go under the rear seats, so marked out the parcel shelf to enlarge the existing speaker holes. The jig saw kept throwing out the blade after one was cut out, yep got stubborn and the tin snips and file came out. It took much longer than it should but, have it! Done.
Template withdrawal kicked in and I copied the parcel shelf, got some more sheet insulation and covered the under side of the parcel shelf. I'll use that jig on the parcel shelf carpet to cut out/double check the speaker holes.
It's looking like we are at a safe stage to fit the last parts from the roof lining kit, under the rear window and the C pillar trim. But lets cut the arch carpet and finish that off and the rear bins as well with trim that used to be chrome but had seen a rough life. Scratches, dents and tarnished, they got a dam good sanding and filling before I painted them black. I saved the parts using products on my shelf with a small nod to the rest of the black trim going in. They are vastly better than they where and will do for now.
