Yeah Sunday may be a negative, unless I get the day off. But with the vinyl's arriving this week I'll be busy with that too! (might need to borrow your carport?!)

Have decided to use the original seatbelt clip bracket to fix harnesses (waste of 2 long bolts!) so am waiting on Grimmy removing the one I need and posting it (top man) and I will be fully harnessed in. Will also order the passenger one as I am happy with the one I have.

Furthermore, I got my new reg plates in the post as the originals were beginning to got black round the edges so will get them on soon too.

Loads of wee things to do but the fundamentals are done!

And Grimmy, the copper grease did the trick...no more scraping from rear caliper!!

Glad you got the brakes sorted mate I will take the bracket off soon as and maybe we could meet up halfway and I could give you the bracket and maybe save some time instead of posting

Sounds like a plan, although may be cheaper if I just pay the postage (plus I cant drive the car with only 2 points bolted in on the harness). If you send it next day delivery I will reimburse the cost

Well the vinlys have come finally!
Plus side, seem good quality and all the bits are there.
Down side, the green is a shade lighter than I expected but will see what it looks like when fitted.
Also sunstrip is wrong but easily corrected.

Just a quick note. Is the vinyl thick or thin? The thin stuff, believe it or not is actually the better quality vinyl.
