Had a little play this morning, front seats were full of 'bobbles',
Before;
After,
Still need to get the upholstery and carpets cleaned though!
Also found that there's no wheel brace or key for the locking wheel nuts so will have to look into that.
I've got a hammer-on socket that I used to remove my lockers (just a 7/8" socket wrapped in tape and battered onto the bolt ;)) And a set of P1 lockers (I'm waiting for a yes or no from somebody else with these tho, can let you know if you like?)

Don't think it sold for £545.
[quote=Gunscrossed;478329]Don't think it sold for £545.[/quote] it did there wasn't a reserve on it
He stopped the auction just before the end, I think the only way you can do that is if you agree to sell to the highest bidder? I messaged him after and he said he wasn't going to let it go for £545. which also suggests he (or someone he knows) was the high bidder.

Doing a few littlr jobs on the car today, it didn't come with the plastic cover on the engine so I bought one from a breaker on Ebay but it didn't come with the six bolts needed to fix it, any idea what size I'll need?

[quote=martinrpeachey;479626]Replied :beer:[/quote] Thanks Martin!
Did a couple of jobs today,
Black grill,
'Aero' wipers,
And ! "NOT NORMAL" sticker :biggrin:
Grill looking good mate.How much was it?
[quote=Kingsford G;480122]Grill looking good mate.How much was it?[/quote] It's a long story !
A few more bits sorted;
When I got the car it had n/s rear damage,
So booked that in for paint,
Also changed the pollen filter, think it needed it!
The last bit will be a bit 'Marmite' I know but I bought a set of birch wood trim from e-bay, from this,
to this,
I quite like it so will look in to how the centre consol fits?
Looking good! Except for the wood trim. :)
Didn't think the wood would go down well!
take no notice .........i quite like that wood.............its different to all the normal pattern
[quote=t5steve;482796]take no notice .........i quite like that wood.............its different to all the normal pattern[/quote] A man with good taste!
[quote=Gunscrossed;482793]Didn't think the wood would go down well![/quote] U do yr car up to yr taste not others mate,some`ll like it some won`t.
[quote=Kingsford G;482815]U do yr car up to yr taste not others mate,some`ll like it some won`t.[/quote] Cheers mate!
my r came with that sick wood, hated it at the time but i miss it, also had the matching wheel too
Going to try a plain grey/black wheel.
put that silver stuff up for sale, its worth money
[quote=t5frankie;483159]put that silver stuff up for sale, its worth money[/quote] Got to work out how to remove the centre consol first!
[quote=Gunscrossed;483294]Got to work out how to remove the centre consol first![/quote] easy job but a bit fiddly just done mine again, you need to take off the handbrake gear surround consol out first with two screws under the flap under the armrest, then its just lots of screws from behind the centre consul surround, take out the stereo and heating controls too, use your torx bits

Hey Frankie, did you lose any skin from your knuckles getting the bolts out, I know I did lol. I took all mine out and sprayed them up silver as the proper kits were rare as rocking horse poo in 2010. Mine originally had the dark marble look trim.

i know what you mean very stressful sometimes, what i do know is that not as many screws went back in than came out lol
[quote=t5frankie;483334]i know what you mean very stressful sometimes, what i do know is that not as many screws went back in than came out lol[/quote] Same here, but no rattles or squeaks so I didn't care :D
Might try to have a look tomorrow, will post up some pics.
Wood is all in!
Also changed the manky beige wheel for a plain grey one,
From this,
To this,
Nice work there mate, Marmite like you say but if you're happy with it, that's what counts ;) Been getting some stick at work, over my new interior but I think it great and the guys at work drive micras and clios so wtf do they know lol.
Lol! Thanks Martin.
Had a crack at those lockers yet?
Just about to take it to my local tyre place to see if they can help, Merc85 had a look and couldn't see how to remove them.
That wood is mental but it was the flag ship choice back in the 850 so who cares, its different, i'm liking your progress so far keep it up. If I was you I would change the top half of the dash board to a off black one, thats been done on here already and it breaks up the cream well. its a shame because I just through the top half of my dash board in the skip because I changed it for the dolby set up a few years ago
