update for today:

spent the start of the day stripping out the garage to get the car into its new home,

once it had been in I set about stripping it as I'm still awaiting on a few parts to come.

as with the interior, I'm going to punt it but plan on using the front two seats for just now until I get cheep buckets or replacements, do you's think its worth more keeping and sell as a full set or sell split?

still to remove door cards and deal with the front but getting there.

Also got a chance to jack it up have a play about and thinking its only needing new track rod ends and pads and disks. so happy there. thinking about either mintex grooved and dimpled with mintex pad to just get me going or EBC yellow stuff pads and similar disks.

Can get my hands on a set of 16" rover wheels which I might use instead of the 17" and maybe a set of 15" which is maybe what i'd use if possible.

Are the fronts as good as the backs ? They would look great in mine but you are to far away

Just the backs dont fetch alot unless you find some one that has damaged them.

the seats are pretty mint tbh, the passengers is as good as new, only a small tear on the drives due to wear but very fixable if you know how or someone to do, but they do look to good to be ripping out and not going to good usage.

Where you from?
