Looking good. Pretty cool how they allow to bring your car in. Out of curiosity are you doing this course for work reasons, or just for personal experience gains?

Just for fun. It taught me that I'll never make a living as a welder

Wow, it's been a while......just finished a house renovation, so can finally get back to the car.

There's two jobs I've been saving up parts for. The first is an interior update.

I bought a TMI seat upholstery kit earlier this year. I've started fitting the covers over the past week.

I finished the rear bench and the backs of the front seats. Unfortunately, the lower front seat is wrong, so I've had to order the correct one which will take 2 weeks to arrive.

Also updated the boot panels with abs sheet. If you want a set I have some of the sheet left.

You might not make it as a welder but you can do my interior any time you want.

Here's the back of the front seat:

Finished off the front seats. Pretty happy with how they turned out. I need a couple of little pieces to finish them off, if anyone can help.

I need the passenger side fold forward handle. Like this:

And I also need one of the special little circlips, like this

With the arrival of son number 2 (Hamish), progress has been slow.

I have upgraded to a Weber 32/36 which had made the car a lot more lively

I also made a bracket to attach the fire extinguisher. I didn't want to drill holes in the floor so came up with this:

Finally........I picked up a 2L 8v. It is an AGG with a nicely worked Mk2 40mm valve head. I will be working this one up slowly, along with a close ratio ACD gear box I sourced. Final goal is to fit the bargain DHLA45s I scored.
